A Memorandum of Understanding has been prepared and will be endorsed by the
members of the Working Group so as to ensure a high commitment of all the key
stakeholders in the implementation of the pilot partnership component of the project.
The Consultant shall play the role of a facilitator of processes, where the different key
stakeholders and local experts define and design by themselves the identified
improvements to make the VET system more responsive to social and labour market needs.
The Consultant service is to make this process possible, more than to substitute the roles
and responsibilities of those entitled to these functions.
To deal with the lack of knowledge in modern tendencies and practices in VET
administration and delivery including competency-based vocational education and training,
the Consultant shall organise effective learning by doing through the services of key and
short-term experts. It will also be necessary to conduct study tours to a new EU member
state(s) practicing competency-based vocational education and training.
The composition of groups for study tours may be as follows:
Group 1: Members of the Coordination Council for VET Modernization and of the
Working Group.
Group 2: Local experts, officials and employers involved in the regulation, development
and approval of competency-based occupational and qualification (educational) standards.
Group 3: Local experts, officials and trainers of trainers involved in the development,
approval and dissemination of outcome oriented curriculum, teaching/learning materials,
training and assessment methods.
