Expanding the Map: Scaling up Good Practices and Mutual Learning with VET Stakeholders in the Philippines

<< Objectives >>The VETXchange project aims to enhance the internationalization of VET institutions in the Philippines and Europe. We seek to develop effective internationalization strategies, foster mutual learning among VET stakeholders, and improve educational quality. Our goal is to establish sustainable partnerships that facilitate knowledge exchange and create pathways for high-skilled training opportunities, ultimately benefiting VET educators, students, and local industries.<< Implementation >>The project will implement various activities, including partner meetings, study visits, VET Stakeholder Summits, and local bootcamps focused on cultural and language training. We will develop online materials, facilitate short-term mobilities for learners, and provide transnational mentorship training. The project will also create an online platform for sharing best practices and resources, fostering collaboration between VET institutions across participating countries.<< Results >>We expect to achieve significant project results, including the establishment of new partnerships and a comprehensive research report. The VETxChange Integration Framework will provide guidelines and support services for hosting institutions, enhancing the capacity of VET providers. Ultimately, we aim to raise the quality of vocational education, increase learning mobility, and foster a sustainable network of VET stakeholders committed to continuous improvement and innovation.
