LEVEL 5 IN EUROPE AND OTHER COUNTRIES

We have a plan for starting in June 2024 with a project concerning the role of level 5 in educational systems, in countries that are involved in the European Higher Education Area. That is not only for the Short Cycle but also for other types of qualifications at level 5 and above (like building on the VET sector).
We will publish reports here if they are available, and will make announcement about related activities.
As a start, here an overview of the presence in a formal way of SCHE in the 47 countries. If you have comments, please let us know.

As CHAIN5 we are a partner in an international project (Erasmus+) about the need for competences that have to part of study programs in VET and HE, looking at professions in the Building and Construction Sector at the levels 3, 4 and 5 (and perhaps also 6) of the EQF. And how to guarantee the quality of those programs? What is the role of the teachers? How to use dual systems in VET and HE? What is the impact of the companies?
The project has started in January 2023. We will publish reports about the workpackages. And… we will organise also webinars for our members… and we will have workshops during the next Annual Conference in Athens. Stay tuned!
But here the link to the website for this project:

As CHAIN5 we have written a number of documents for the project, but they are also interesting for other sectors of the labour market. You can download them here, to be used for discussions in your College of University of Applied Sciences if it is about offering level 5 qualifications.
