2016 Financial support to the EQAVET
Start date: Apr 1, 2016, End date: Mar 31, 2017 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project will focus on implementing 2 priorities of the call: strengthening mutual cooperation among NRPs in order to address implementation – NRPs and the work with VET providers and deepening the culture of quality assurance of VET – the importance of feedback loops and the review phase of the quality cycle.Majority of VET providers have mechanisms in place to assess the students and graduates, teachers, employers’ satisfaction with training / learning and qualifications acquired. Nevertheless they collect very different data, in some cases with oral surveys and the tools that are in place are insufficient to reflect differences in opinion. Moreover, the collected data is not always used for strategic planning and improving VET provision. Summarised reports of results of quality evaluations recommended national-level survey tools / questionnaires which would ensure the comparability of results on various levels: national, institutional, branch (according to sub-field of education) and according to individual VET programmes within the same institution.With this project we will seek to improve the VET quality culture by focusing on the review phase of the quality cycle. More specifically, based on tan in-depth analysis of existing practice in Lithuanian VET sector, EQAVET network materials and other countries experience, we will prepare concrete instruments for the evaluation of (1) employers satisfaction with VET graduates qualification, knowledge, skills and competence; (2) graduates satisfaction with acquired qualification, knowledge, skills and competence; (3) for the learners satisfaction with individual learning experience and the learning and teaching environment; (4) for the teachers satisfaction with training environment and work conditions. During the project visits to VET providers, focus groups with various stakeholders and national final conference will be organised. Also NRP staff will participate in events organised by other NRPs.
