CPD OUTLINE

Objective

Employer engagement produces a range of benefits at every stage
of vocational education and training (VET), especially in the design
and implementation of work-based learning (WBL) paths.

Efficient employer engagement is vital in a complex and ever-
changing world. Slow economic recovery, the COVID-19 pandemic,

digital and green transformations, higher skills, qualification
requirements and skill mismatches make business and VET
partnerships crucial; however, initiating such relationships and
ensuring their success and sustainability is far from simple.

The BRIDGES CPD programme is a four-level employer engagement
framework which aims to support VET managers and professionals
to develop their BRIDGES pathway to build excellence in employer
engagement.
