Background

The Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET (BILT) project provides TVET stakeholders with a platform for exchange and supports them to address current challenges in TVET systems, which arise due to technological, social, environmental, and workplace changes.

Within BILT, the overarching thematic area is New Qualifications and Competencies in TVET, which is supported by four work streams:

zz Digitalization and TVET,

zz Greening TVET,

zz Entrepreneurship in TVET, and

zz Migration and TVET.

Our goals

zz To exchange on innovative practices and how TVET systems address their integration

zz To explore the processes of identification, formalization and implementation of new qualifications and competencies that are needed for modern, competitive TVET systems and attractive career paths

zz To activate the European Cluster of the UNEVOC Network through bridging experiences and peer learning

zz To create opportunities to bridge innovation and learning between Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific

Through regular knowledge exchange, thematic project activities, and expert working groups, BILT offers opportunities for collaboration between UNEVOC Centres and TVET stakeholders in Europe, and a platform for bridging of innovation and learning between European UNEVOC Centers and TVET stakeholders in the Asia-Pacific and Africa regions.

The results of ongoing activities are accessible on BILT’s web page and will be disseminated during a BILT Learning Forum.

The BILT project is carried out in collaboration with UNEVOC Network members, coordinated by UNESCO-UNEVOC with support of the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
