The Sector Councils « Express the needs of the labour market, higher education and all other components of Croatian society” (VET act article 17)
The Sector Councils & our Project • The starting point • Tasks of the project • Recommendations
The starting point • 13 Sector councils in place with +/-18 months of experience • A well defined Model of Sector Council (VET Act)
Tasks of the project Task1 - Compare the Sector Council model of Croatia with existing models in the EU
The Sector Councils models in the EU Non permanent bodies VET COUNCILS Cross-sector Councils Sector Councils - Croatia** - Finland - France - Portugal - Slovakia - Hungary - Italy Advisory role - Denmark - Greece • - Netherlands • - Romania • Spain • UK* Decision-making role - Germany - Slovenia - Ireland * * No equal representation ** Croatia still being in the process of accession to the EU
Tasks of the project Task 2- Assist each Sector Council in selecting 2 new (or renewed) qualifications
Tasks of the project • A clarified methodology & new tools 2 Selection of new qualification 3 Advice on new drafted standards 1 Picture of the Sector Templates of sector strategy & rationale Standards methodology 14 sector profiles
Tasks of the project • Task 3: Stimulate ideas & proposals for improvement • study visits to Scotland and (additional) to France on other models of SCs • training sessions on Qualification Management • two x 2days workshops: „SWOT analysis of the SCs” & proposals Report on „Role and responsibilities of the SCs”
Main recommandations • 1. Increase the involvement of the key VET stakeholders in the Sector Councils’work • Promote SCs to key member organisations (Employment Service, Higher Education, Trade Unions…) • Attract/retain „influential” SC members with: • clarified criteria for SCs members’selection/appointment • SCs activities adapted to „busy” members
1. Increase the involvement of the key VET stakeholders in the Sector Councils’work (2) • Proposals to be further discussed: • Increase the influence of „the world of work” in the SCs (reassess the representation ratio?) • Develop SCs work at the sub-sector level • Extension of the Sector Councils work to some „post-secondary” VET programs ?
Main recommandations • 2. Develop mechanisms for permanent improvement of the work of the SCs • Emerging initiative: • A „secretariat for SCs” within the AVETAE • Other suggestions: • Periodic cross-sector discussions of the SCs on common issues & improvements of the practices • Quality assurance applied on the SCs work and on the Qualification validation process
Conclusion The Croatian Sector Councils: Already recognised key institution… … but still in its implementation phase. A particular support from all VET stakeholders is needed !
