Description
1) Objective
The pilot projects need to focus on developing joint VET programmes (full or partial) in a transnational setting at EQF levels 3-5. Various approaches are possible, such as creating modules developed by VET providers from different countries or sectoral/craft organisations at the European level. The projects should aim towards integrating these into qualifications registered in a national or regional qualification framework or system, for example by utilising the optional areas within vocational training programmes. Projects could also aim to develop a comprehensive qualification in a transnational context to address gaps within national and/or regional formal qualification systems.
They should utilise EU instruments and transparency tools such as EQAVET, EQF, Europass and ESCO and could build on the outcome of existing transnational cooperation initiatives which have developed joint training content and modules.

Applicants must be legal entities (public or private bodies) active in the field of education and training, research and innovation or in the world of work
