7. Lot 2: Activities for Blueprint Alliances
Activities described in the Programme Guide for Lot 2 must all be
addressed in the work plan!
The next slide lists the headlines only pay attention to the details in the
Programme Guide!
8. The following activities must be implemented
Develop a strategic approach to sectoral cooperation on skills (refer to a
Pact for Skills partnership existing or in the making - in the relevant
ecosystem)
Design European sector-wide agreed core curricula and training
programmes:
oWithin 1st year of project: address urgent skills needs rapidly (through
continuing vocational training)
oThroughout the project: develop training for emerging occupational
profiles (for initial VET + HE as well as for continuing vocational
training)
Deliver the core curricula and training programmes
Design a long-term action plan for roll-out of project results
9. Lot 2: EU transparency + quality instruments
Proposals should draw on the classification of European Skills,
Competences, Qualifications and Occupations (ESCO):
https://ec.europa.eu/esco/portal/home
.and competence frameworks, such as KeyComp, DigComp,
EntreComp, GreenComp
Proposals should address developments of emerging occupational profiles
at upper + post-secondary levels (EQF levels 3-5) and at tertiary levels
(EQF levels 6-8)
When developing curricula and training programmes, quality assurance
should be built in check against EQAVET and ESG
