Bridging innovation and learning in TVET (BILT)
The Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET (BILT) aims to support Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutions in addressing challenges arising due to current global trends. These include the digitalization of the workplace and the training cycle, the transition to green and sustainable economies, a growing focus on the benefits of entrepreneurial learning, and the increase in migration that requires close engagement from TVET stakeholders to provide relevant training solutions.
In tackling these challenges, BILT leverages the existing mechanism of the UNEVOC Network where Céreq is a member to offer opportunities for collaboration between UNEVOC Centres and TVET stakeholders and a platform for bridging of innovation and learning between Europe, Africa, and Asia and the Pacific.
Céreq acted as an active contributor in the first phase of the project by coordinating an international experts working group in charge of providing operational recommendations for “meso-level” actors (covering activities in specific economic sectors, such as business membership organizations, trade unions, joint organizations or chambers of commerce, industry or crafts) involved in the process of maintaining and updating TVET systems to ensure they remain fit for purpose.
Three work-meetings took place in the first half of 2021 resulting in a final report published in December 2021.
UNEVOC-UNESCO announced the extension of BILT activities until 2025. In this second phase the project will develop tools intended to encourage TVET providers to assess their preparedness to identify new qualifications and competencies, integrate them into curricula and implement them in adequate learning environments. New agenda dual thematic focus is greening and digitalization.
