Description
The 2-nd National Expert workshop on the topic of establishing a Center for Excellence in Vocational Education (CoVE) is about to be held on 10.12.2024, Tuesday, at 2:00 p.m., at the Student Complex, 1 Rosario Str., 1756 Sofia. Following the meeting held a month ago, this is the second event in this format, where experts in the field of vocational education and training (VET) have the opportunity to exchange experiences and hold a discussion on the role and activities that such a center would perform at the national and international level. The meeting will also discuss the idea of creating a transnational platform for CoVE, initially as a network of five European countries, and then in a broader context.
The event is organized in connection with the joint participation of the Cluster Sofia Knowledge City, the Joint Innovation Center of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Technological School of Electronic Systems at the Technical University of Sofia (TUES) in the international Project InvesTech (Erasmus+ Program) and will take the form of short presentations and discussions on the topics:
- What is a excellence in vocational education and what is CoVE? ;
- The role of CoVEs in building and maintaining a local “skills ecosystem”;
- 21st century skills: what the IT sector needs.
The InvesTech project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aims to establish a centre of excellence in vocational education in the ICT sector. The project aims to respond to the changing needs of the ICT sector by fostering cooperation between different stakeholders, improving skills development, promoting the ecological transition and ensuring social inclusion.
