FINAL CONSIDERATIONS

The innovative dimension of the JOBS4ALL Methodology is clarified and defined
by the prospect of meeting the specific needs of partners’ organisations and
their country’s needs, addressing the mismatch between concrete demand and
supply in the labour market in the countries of the partnership and across

Europe.

This 2-level Methodology is adjustable – given the needs of VET providers and
employers, some aspects may not be applied, engaged simultaneously, or
implemented in different order.

As the Methodology is available in six languages – English, Spanish, Portuguese,
German, Greek and Polish – it increases its transferability potential to other
countries and can also be used in other education and training sectors, such as
Adult Education, Higher Education, or by other players, including employment
services and other relevant stakeholders.

Complimentary to the JOBS4ALL Methodology, the CPD programme is designed
in line with the EQF, the ECVET, the DigCompEdu and the Salzburg Education
Declaration. It has six modules, designed for blended format, offering a set of
practical resources to support VET professionals in their daily practices and
effective VET-business cooperation. The CPD duration is estimated for 60 hours

(10 per module), including face-to-face, self-direct learning and assessment
hours. All resources are adapted to local contexts and learners' specific needs.

One of the main conclusions arising from the design of the JOBS4ALL
Methodology is that VET-business cooperation and effective employer
engagement can be seen as an ongoing challenge that must continuously adapt
strategically to both parts – the needs of the VET providers and the
local/regional/national and even international business context that defines
global trends of the labour market.

For this to happen, it is crucial to have qualified human resources and time for
implementation. For VET providers this implies to upskill VET managers and
professionals. However, from the point of view of employers, making their staff,
resources, facilities and working time available for establishing relationships
with VET and hosting learners at the workplace are not usually their
