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.
