3 Features of the centersWhen developing their concepts, the partners followed several ideas. On the onehand, there was the German vocational training system. One of the main features ofthis system is its connection with industry and the fact that it offers a career pathapart from the academic world.While not being able to fund anything close to this system, the partners oriented theirefforts along these two principles: Training ‚from the industry for the industry’ andtraining that could bring anyone forward. A lot of inspiration was drawn from theUnited Nations’ (UNESCO-UNEVOC) discussion of best practices in technicalvocational training.3.1 Established standardsTraining at the Handwerk Centers follows the official curricula and national standards(NVQ) prescribed by the Tertiary & Vocational Education Commission (TVEC) of SriLanka, they are registered with the TVEC.Another registration is with the British City&Guilds.
