Cooperation between EVTA and CEDEFOP

Since July 2002 Cedefop and EVTA have concluded a partnership agreement and so defined good opportunities for increased cooperation and synergy.

1. The development of a Knowledge management system is a common concern. Cedefop will share the progress with EVTA

2. Cedefop will observe the progress in EXEMPLO and deliver feedback. Cedefop will associate EVTA in its efforts to set up a database of good examples of practice.

3. EVTA will consider the use of metadata and how to improve accessibility and compatibility of their data. EVTA will make systematically links to Cedefop’s services to enrich access to information for their member organisations

4. Cedefop will make their thematic approach (which is in the process of completion) available to EVTA, which will consider the usefulness for their work

5. EVTA will promote that all their members become part of the Reference and Expertise Network (Refer).

6. EVTA will promote the certificate supplement, the European C.V. and see how they can make suggestions for the future relations with other instruments

7. EVTA and Cedefop will organise a common seminar in Cedefop on the e-labour/ training market (learning opportunities, C.V., certificate supplement, job opportunities). This seminar will bring IT specialists together who will consider the technical aspects and conditions, as well as the future practical way forward.

8. The Cedefop Director will participate in the EVTA Conference de Bruges

9. EVTA will create a link to Cedefop websites and stimulate use of Cedefop’s information and emerging knowledge management system.
