  3. ESPO - activities • Organising a biennial European skills competition event called: EuroSkills. • EuroSkills 2008 will have a follow up: • in 2010 EuroSkills will be organised by Skills Portugal (part of IEFP) in Lisbon (Portugal), • in 2012 EuroSkills will be organised in Belgium. • The concept of ES08 will be used in ES events in ’10 and ’12, • Member countries can express their interest for organizing future ES event. (first interest from members to organise ES2014 already received)

  4. ESPO - activities • Support ESPO member states countries in establishing and further developing a national skills structure. - Organisational support in setting up a national structure and partner networks - Development of national (and/or regional) skills competitions - Use ESPO International network - Through the support program and with the financial support from the EC, ESPO will support countries in a way which best suits each country

  5. ESPO - activities • Supporting EU programmes and policy on vocational education and training throughout Europe (e.g. by disseminating and valorising projects and their results). • By using results from EU-projects and link them to Skills competitions. E.g. EQF-projects, mobility projects, EU networking projects etc. • Creating and maintaining international and national platforms for the collaboration of Industry and VET through Skills Competitions • The working together between National Skills Organisations will improve through the working together in ESPO. It gives the members also the opportunity to benefit more from other VET, industry networks and European government involvement.

  6. ESPO - activities • Engaging with companies and social partners to promote quality of skills in trades, crafts and modern technical occupations. • Promotionally, there can be gained a lot by organizing partnerships with companies. Existing EU-competitions can gain more from working together. • Cooperating with European organisations in the field of VET in promoting skills excellence. • Cedefop, ETF, Efvet and other European organisations who now more and more are aware of the existence of Skills competitions as a tool for raising the attractiveness of VET. • Promoting European Skills on a global level in cooperation with WorldSkills International and other regional skills organisations. • Europe is a strong participant in WorldSkills. Over 50% of the candidates of WS in November 2007, Japan and 2009 in Calgary came from the EU. Working together benefits both organisations’ objectives. • MoU with WSI is signed
