Limerick and Clare Education and Training Board’s Post

We all might know that in every country we need professionals to keep our infrastructure and services running. We all have a common consern to maintain and increase attraction in vocational education. We all in the picture are having a common amazing work of supporting excellence and keep offering superb possibilities to young professionals by offering them a change to put their skills in test and finding unique international possibilities, network, lifelong friends and in some countries - completely change their lifes. Last week in Dublin WorldSkills International was having its General Assembly after a while in person. We had about 250 individuals from about 55 various countries to talk, learn, share and decide many topics. This is me telling what's going on with WorldSkills Occupational Standard Development Centre. Do you know someone, who has competed in WorldSkills Europe or WorldSkills International competitions? Have you recruited one of these best ones in the World? #vocationalexcellence #vocationaleducation #skillscompetitions

Yesterday, my colleague Gemma Gronland and I attended the International Skills Summit 5 in Birmingham. There were some excellent speakers and insightful discussions around technical and employability skills, economic growth and social mobility. The following insights were particularly interesting: - Access to skills would be a key driver for productivity and economic growth for the country, as well as social mobility for individuals. - There is a need to redemonstrate that world-class skills aren't exclusively for big organizations; small businesses should also have access to these skills to enhance their productivity. - There is a need for a mindset and language shift around vocational training; vocational and academic learning should be seen through the same lens.

Great to see the power of qualifications in real terms.
