Consultations

  • On 14 May 2019 the ApprEnt project consortium organised an open online consultation on the draft policy recommendations prepared in the framework of the project, designed to promote apprenticeships and work-based learning schemes at Higher Education level.

National Valorisation Events

The National Valorisation events of ApprEnt have taken place in September-October 2019. Eight different activities were programmed in 7 countries (AT, EE, ES, FI, FR, IT and PT) bringing together the HE sector and the world of enterprises to present the ApprEnt final tools and to open discussion about the relevance and use of these materials.

In countries like Spain, where the full HE apprenticeship programmes are still in an early stage, the participation and the discussion in the seminars were very good and the tools very well received. Many participants highlighted the suitability of the tools, that would be of great help to them in the development phase of this kind of schemes.

Over 200 professionals from key stakeholder organisations, including not only HEIs and SMEs but also regional authorities and trade unions have attended these events.
