INFORMATION
about the project titled ’Work-based Learning
in CVET’ nr. 2015-1-HU01-KA202-013646,
coordinated by the Government Office of
Békés County
The title of the Erasmus+ KA2 Strategic Partnerships
project – currently ongoing – implemented
in an international consortium led by the Government
Office of Békés County:
’Work-based Learning in CVET’.
Project duration: 01/12/2015 – 01/12/2017 The leader of the international consortium:
Government Office of Békés County Partners participating in the project:
Gyulahús Ltd. (Gyula, Hungary)
ALFA KISOSZ Advocacy and Training Association

The aim of the project:
The main aim of the project is to develop in an
international cooperation a complex methodology
applicable in the CVET (continuing VET) of adults
concerning work-based learning, based on Finnish,
German and Italian models.
In the context of the cooperation the international
partnership implementing the project aims to develop a
complex methodology that is going to be well applicable
in each member country of the European Union, it is
going to be in line with European Union efforts, and it
will be worked out according to the quality
requirements identified by the EQAVET working group.
The main target group of the project:
Professionals, managers and trainers of organisations
dealing with CVET and employment of adults and
professionals, managers and trainers of organisations
responsible for work-based learning.
End users:
Unskilled and/or people with qualifications not
demanded by the labour-market, job-seekers having no
competences necessary for employment, as well as
employed adults at a risk of becoming unemployed
without training.
The main activities of the project: Foreign partner organisations developed
their handbooks in a uniform system of
criteria, including processes and best
practices of work-based learning applied by
them in the context of VET for adults.
Conducting surveys to measure the impact of the
project – among professionals of the
training place and adult education institution,
as well as training participants – at the
beginning of the project and following the
testing of the methodology. (May 2016 and June
2017).
The first survey is related to the
assessement of the situation of
controlling the incorporation of practical
knowledge during the learning process.
In the second survey the measurement of
changes occuring after trying out the
method developed within the context of the
project happens.
The results of the surveys are going to be recorded in
a summary analysis.
The first version of the complex
methodological handbook prior to testing
has been developed by taking into account the
Finnish, Italian and German methods, which
include the processes and document patterns
applied in the VET and CVET for adults and the
building blocks of their quality organisation
broken down into six building blocks identified
by the EQAVET workgroup.
The first multiplier event was held on
11th November 2016 at Békéscsaba
with nearly 90 participants. Its aim was to
introduce the draft of the newly developed
complex methodological handbook prepared for
testing for professionals responsible for VET
in Békés County. Participants
positively evaluated the usefulness and
usability of the information and the quality of
the event.
The methodology is going to be tested in
practice during March-April 2017.
In order to test the methodology
- in non-formal VET: a meat products manufacturing
training organised by the KISOSZ adult education
training institution - implemented at the
Gyulahús Kft. practical training employer - is
going to be realised, which is included in the National
Qualifications Register and
- in formal VET: it is going to be carried out in the
context of a social worker and nurse training
included in the National Qualifications Register at the
Békés Megyei Hajnal István
Szolgáltató Centrum practical training
institution organised by the Gál Ferenc
Főskola Békési
SzakképzőIskola, Gimnázium és
Kollégium.
Preparing the final version of the
methodological handbook is carried out in a
cooperation within the international
partnership, accepted by all partners –
by taking into account the opinions,
suggestions and testing experiences of foreign
partner organisations and professionals
involved in the VET for adults – until 30
September 2017.
Organising multiplier events in Finland,
Germany, Italy and Hungary during September -
October 2017, in order to present and
disseminate the results of the project.
A final study is going to be prepared
including the aims, activities, achieved
results and the sustainability of the project.
As the main outcome of the project a complex
methodology is going to be developed, which is new and
unique on an European level, and by its introduction
and application the transition between learning and
work can be facilitated, and training completers can
find employment easier, because their professional
knowledge and key competences necessary for employment
are better tailored to employers’ needs.
International researches indicate that the effective
operation of work-based learning contributes
significantly to the harmonisation of labour-market
supply and demand, and to increased employment.
The methodology developed in the context of the project
– to be tried out first in Békés
County, Hungary – can be applied across Europe by
those VET organisations and employers who would like to
introduce work-based learning, as well as by those who
would like to improve their work-based learning system.
On the basis of the discussion occurring during the
partnership meeting held in January 2017 – with
the participation of all partnership organisations
– we prepared the second version of the complex
methodological handbook, which is available on the
http://bekes.munka.hu website, under the
Nemzetközi projektek link.
