PROJECT CONTEXT

The world of work is evolving at a brisk pace. Changing and increasing skills
demands, coupled with economic, demographic, and technological
developments are posing considerable challenges as well as providing
opportunities for innovative and inclusive responses from Vocational Education
and Training (VET) systems. Several reforms are underway across Europe to
introduce more apprenticeship models or to implement other forms of work-
based learning. However, since systems coming from different institutional set-
ups and legacies are trying to move in that direction, it is expected that the

process of reform will be long and difficult.

Aside from work-based learning, meaningful VET-business cooperation can pave
the way for VET systems to raise the quality and attractiveness of VET. JOBS4ALL
partners recognise that VET provision needs to be based on effective
governance at all levels, and that strong employer engagement is vital for
delivering excellent and inclusive VET that offer opportunities for both economic

and social cohesion, tackle mismatches between employer needs and worker
skills and support competitiveness and sustainable development. But initiating
such relationships and ensuring their success and sustainability is far from
simple.

With a view to face above-mentioned challenges, JOBS4ALL project – a
cooperation partnership in vocational education and training co-funded under
Erasmus+ Programme – was designed and implemented.

The project partners are:
 Internationaler Bund – Germany
 The Rural Hub – Ireland

 Haute Formation aux Politiques Communautaires – Belgium
 Mindshift Talent Advisory – Portugal

 IASIS – Greece
 Centre for Social Innovation – Cyprus
 Danmar Computers – Poland

 Fondo Formación Euskadi – Spain
