In 2015 the OECD launched a study on work-based learning in vocational education and training that aims to deliver policy messages about how to use work-based learning to achieve better economic and social outcomes.
The document discusses using an online Moodle platform to support work-based learning (WBL) programs. It describes a Career Development Course (CDC) that provides online resources and modules to support students enrolled in cooperative education, internship, and shadowing programs. Approximately 42% of seniors, or 128 students, are currently participating in these types of WBL programs. It also outlines future directions for the online platform, such as making the job bank more active, connecting students to employer profiles and virtual interviews, and using technology to document safety trainings and site visits.
This document summarizes a work based learning module at the University of Roehampton that provides students opportunities to gain practical work experience through placements. The module aims to help students develop employability skills over 200 hours spent in a placement and related coursework. Placements include volunteering at non-profits, working in schools, and assisting at university departments. Students provide feedback that the module helps improve their communication, confidence, independence, and understanding of their own strengths. While resource-intensive, there is faculty support for the program due to its benefits.

The changes also seek to keep students in education longer through new options like apprenticeships and foundation learning programs. The overall goal is to help students of all academic levels qualify for higher education or employment.
The document discusses a collaborative approach by Irish universities to develop micro-credentials. It outlines 4 strands of the MicroCreds project: 1) a national framework for micro-credentials, 2) a model for sustainable enterprise engagement, 3) a discovery platform and digital credentialing solution, and 4) a suite of micro-credentials across partner universities. It discusses insights around strategic prioritization, piloting approaches, and enterprise collaboration. The governance structure includes strategic commitment from universities, a steering group, and an enterprise advisory group. A working definition of micro-credentials is also provided.
This document discusses questions institutions should consider regarding mobility and cooperation outside of the European Union based on lessons from higher education. It suggests asking what is in it for students, institutions, and countries. For students, mobility can provide relevant skills, generic skills, and recognition of learning outcomes. Institutions benefit from added reputation, international networks, and long-term gains. Countries and the EU gain a better skilled workforce, relevant skills for workers, and international degree holders who act as ambassadors. Cooperation works in both directions between institutions.

EMC-LM 3rd empowering event introduction by George Ubachs, EADTUEADTU
This document discusses the European MOOCs for the Labour Market (EMC-LM) project. The key points are:
- EMC-LM aims to strengthen collaboration between higher education institutions and labor market organizations through sharing expertise on MOOCs and digital education.
- The goals are to provide more high-quality MOOCs and training opportunities to enhance skills of the European workforce and competitiveness of member states.
- EMC-LM will integrate MOOCs into current education offerings across the EU through collaboration between universities, employment services, and companies. This includes co-developing and delivering MOOCs to meet labor market needs.
The document discusses making post-secondary vocational education and training (VET) more attractive. It addresses the need for a flexible middle cadre and promoting citizenship. There are four key drivers changing the labor market: the economic crisis, developing a low-carbon economy, more skill-intensive jobs, and future skill supply and demand in Europe. To increase attractiveness, post-secondary VET should be recognized, integrated into tertiary education, and include lifelong learning, research, and partnerships with industry. Teaching staff should include both academics and corporate experts. The European Training Foundation plays a role in sharing European frameworks and principles for post-secondary VET reforms across 29 partner countries.
Higher vocational education (HVE) in Sweden is designed to meet the labor market's demand for post-secondary qualified skills. HVE programs are offered at 236 education providers across a range of fields, last one to two years, and include workplace training. Graduates have high employment rates, with over 70% employed within a month and over 80% employed within six months, often in the same field as their study. HVE programs are developed in partnership with employers to define needs and influence content. The Swedish Council for Higher Vocational Education oversees and funds HVE.
The document discusses reforms to the United Kingdom's National Curriculum for 14-19 year olds. The reforms aim to make the qualifications system less complex, offer more choices to students, and encourage young people to stay in education longer.

An OECD policy review of postsecondary vocational education and training
The overall aim: - to help countries meet labour market needs more effectively
It is a ‘thematic’ review, meaning that it takes a theme (in this case postsecondary VET) and looks at it both in cross-country comparison and in individual country studies
How will the work be done?
By drawing together information, statistics and research from many countries to compare countries.
By countries preparing background reports, reporting on their own arrangements for postsecondary VET.
Through individual country reviews, with published reports appraising country systems, with policy recommendations.
By drawing all this experience together in a final comparative report.
SIPOC MODEL IN MOROCCAN ENGINEERING EDUCATION CONTEXT: LEAN APPROACHijejournal
Morocco country faces a set of challenges related to the global economic crisis which strongly affects the
funding dedicated to different development sector. In this way, engineering schools are expected to respond
to higher education's heightened requirement while using the minimum amount of resources. Lean thinking
is a systematic approach to improve the efficiency of the educational process by promoting continuous
improvement. It can be applied both to learning and administrative steps to eliminate activities that do not
add value. In order to apply lean thinking principles in Moroccan engineering education we need to
understand how process activities create value and interact together. The process approach is a powerful
way of visualizing process flow and how inputs are transformed into outputs using different resources. The
purpose of this study is to introduce the first two principles of lean thinking, namely value definition and
process mapping, in Moroccan engineering education. Firstly we have chosen to study the ENSEM
(National Higher School of Electricity and Mechanics) processes. We have described its learning system in
order to define the value and elabora

Continuous professional development for secondary education teachers to adopt...Up2Universe
This document outlines a continuous professional development (CPD) program for secondary education teachers to help them adopt next-generation digital learning platforms. The CPD program was implemented across eight European countries as part of the Up2University project. The three module CPD program aimed to empower teachers to integrate student-centered teaching methods and technology. Initial results from Greece found that teachers found the first module helpful and applicable to their teaching, and would recommend it to others. The conclusions note that large-scale CPDs require a flexible approach when implemented across multiple countries.

This document summarizes key findings from the TALIS Starting Strong 2018 survey on diversity and quality in early childhood education. It finds that socioeconomic gaps in child development emerge early. While early childhood education can help disadvantaged children, quality varies between more and less diverse centers. More diverse centers often face greater shortages and lower parental involvement, though staff may have more diversity training and use adaptive practices. Ensuring resources for diverse centers, reducing diversity concentrations, and supporting family engagement could help reduce inequalities.

- PISA 2022 assessed the math performance of nearly 690,000 15-year-old students across 81 countries. It found the average math performance dropped by almost 15 score points across OECD countries since 2018, a larger decline than ever seen before.
- Factors like insufficient education resources, a shortage of qualified teachers, and more time spent on digital devices for leisure rather than learning were linked to lower math scores. However, stronger teacher support during remote learning and feeling prepared for independent learning were associated with higher performance and confidence.

1. WORK-BASED LEARNING
IN VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION AND TRAINING
How to become involved in the OECD study that aims to
deliver policy messages about how to use work-based
learning to achieve better economic and social outcomes
2. One of the biggest challenges in developing skills for the
labour market is to ensure that learning meets the needs of
the workplace. One of the best ways of doing this is to make
the fullest use of the workplace as a powerful learning
environment, and to find effective mechanisms to link
employer interests to the mix of training provision. This is
more easily said than done. The development of high-level
workplace skills, where work-based learning plays a leading
role, is one of the central challenges both for competitive
enterprises and collectively for a modern productive
economy.
Why work-based learning matters
3. Work-based learning encompasses a diversity of formal and
informal arrangements including apprenticeships, informal
learning on the job, work placements that form part of
formal vocational qualifications, and internships of various
types. Managed effectively, as in the highest performing
VET systems, it delivers very clear benefits for all
participants and contributes to better labour market and
economic outcomes. For those entering or re-entering the
labour market, work-based learning offers a powerful
means of facilitating the transition.
Why work-based learning matters
4. • synthesise the evidence on how the benefits of work-based learning
might be more fully exploited to achieve better economic and social
outcomes;
• document global experience of developments and innovations in
policy and practice; and
• on these foundations, deliver key policy messages.
The overall aims of the project are
to:
5. A large body of research and analysis of work-based learning already exists and this
project aims to add value in making use of the particular comparative advantages of the
OECD, by:
• Linking the analysis to wider OECD work, including related work on education,
labour markets, science, technology and innovation, and inclusive economic growth.
• Exploiting the insights and country examples of work-based learning already gained
through the OECD's extensive experience through country reviews of vocational
education and training.
• Drawing on the OECD's capacity to convene countries and through peer-learning to
use their experience and expertise to inform the project.
• Using the OECD Survey of Adult Skills, to explore the connections between work-
based learning and skills.
This work will also draw on relevant expertise of other international organisations,
including the EU and its agencies, ILO and UNESCO and the World Bank.
How OECD can add value by
focusing on work-based learning
6. Australia, Canada, Germany, Norway, Scotland,
Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States and
the European Commission are providing voluntary
contributions towards the work, either through sponsoring
specific modules or contributing to the project as a whole.
Participants
7. • Identifying the costs and benefits of work-based learning
• Strengthening incentives and implementation
• Strengthening school-to-work transition
• Promoting innovation and economic growth
• Certifying and recognising work-based learning
• Strengthening guidance and career information
The six modules
8. Modules will typically be developed and pursued through the following
three consecutive steps:
1. Preparation of technical report(s)
2. Workshops
3. Preparation and publication of a policy report
In 2017 a final synthesis report will draw together the different strands
represented in the different modules with a unifying narrative, and a
set of key policy recommendations.
Methodology
9. 1. Initial desk-based analysis will review policy and practice across
OECD countries on the basis of available evidence. It will draw on
cross-national data sources whenever available, including the
OECD Survey of Adult Skills. It will assess the key policy challenges
in the field. Depending on the features of each module, this initial
analysis may be presented in one or more technical report(s).
Technical reports will often be prepared by external experts, while
others will be prepared by the Secretariat. The technical report(s)
may be published as working papers and will provide the basis for a
workshop.
3 consecutive steps
10. 2. Countries will be invited to participate in a workshop, which will be
designed to fulfil three purposes. First, to review the initial
analytical work, summarised in the technical report(s) and
augment it with country experience with potential policy solutions
and innovations. Second, to enable countries to learn directly from
each other’s experience. Finally, and more specifically for the host
country, to build stakeholder engagement in a common endeavour.
The workshop could be hosted by the sponsoring country.
3 consecutive steps
11. 3. The policy report will integrate the initial analysis from the
technical report(s) and the outcomes of the workshop, drawing
together conclusions and distilling key policy messages from the
topic of the module in a published OECD report.
