In 2009 the European Commission launched the new Strategic Framework for Education and Training post Lisbon 2010. This Strategy framework sets the priorities for the Commission in promoting and stimulating Education and Training reforms over the next 5 to 10 years. The framework and priorities have been through a comprehensive review and consultation process with major stakeholders including EfVET and EUCIS- LLL – priorities have been set and work programmes established.

With this backdrop, Lifelong Learning and Vocational Education and Training remain the cornerstone of European policy – not only to implement current reforms but to improve vocational education and training / lifelong learning and embed these as the mechanism for realising Europe as a world wide leader in formulating a knowledge society.

Conference will provide a broad assessment of this Strategic framework and the contribution of VET institutions to make this objective a reality. It will consider how the priorities identified within the framework, and the tools associated with it, will support the development of Vocational Education and Training in Europe. It will provide an opportunity to explore how best we can bring about change and improvement; address the skills agenda; ensure we prepare our learners for their place within a highly skilled, innovative labour market and how we might move forward to make it even better.
