Skills Intelligence Strategies for Career Guidance in Higher Education: Lifelong Learning and Agile Continuous Education for Employability (2/2)
The Digital Re-Skilling@universities Erasmus+ project partnership hereby invites you and your colleagues to participate at the D-reskill@U Leadership School organised at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics by the Institute of Continuous Engineering Education and the project consortium led by the University of Sorbonne.
Date: 24-26 October 2023.
Venue: Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Building E.
1111 Budapest, Egry Jozsef utca 1. 11th floor
University governance representatives (Presidents, Vice-Presidents, Heads of faculties and departments) participants will learn about digital upskilling and reskilling in focus of the career guidance tool - developed by D-reskill@U in their strategy for the development of industry oriented course provision and lifelong learning education, with special focus on executive education provisions of the HE organisations as well as its possible significance in graduate degrees.
Elements of Lifelong Learning highlighted in the project such as common European vocabulary (ontology) of occupations, skills and qualifications (ESCO), student-oriented learning, use of computer-assisted decision making tools, when extended to gradual education will blur the divide between them, positioning the learning offers within the smart catalogue of offers that make use of ESCO ontologies and establishes a link between academics and the needs of the job market
Training Themes:
1. Reskilling and upskilling at universities: introducing skill taxonomies to create innovative lifelong learning formulae. Understanding the EU the role of EU Skills Databases (ESCO), semantic standards for learning, and a standardised expression of verifiable knowledge and skills in developing innovative products and services in higher education.
2. Policies of lifelong learning: Opening traditional HE institutions’ offers to LLL and industrial needs. Development of Bologna scheme by further modularisation of curricula. Introduction of smaller and more flexible learning pathways by micro-credentialization of learning content, introduction of European SLP (Short Learning Programmes), increasing the credit transfer in Europe by further developing ECTS system with micro-credentials. Finding appropriate pathways to learners to decrease dropout from universities.
3. The needs of the job market: feedback from industry representatives on the innovations and strategies of higher education to consolidate skills ontologies with academic training for employability.
