Vocational Training in Host Countries and Mutual Recognition of Qualifications
Challenge and goal:
Failing to invest in Ukrainians abroad is not an option given the prolonged displacement. The challenge is to qualify Ukrainians abroad for life and work in host countries while also preparing them for a potential future return to Ukraine (dual intent). Mutual recognition of qualifications is key for mobility of Ukrainians abroad but still restricted by multiple barriers, divers, unclear and fragmented processes. Therefore, in the focus area of “Vocational Training in Host Countries and Mutual Recognition of Qualifications”, the Skills Alliance members assess qualifications not yet recognised in Ukraine and vice versa, discuss how to increase in bilateral agreements and other means of mutual recognition and operationalise the dual intent approach for training in host countries while also exchanging on vocational training abroad in recovery-relevant sectors.
Deliverables:
- Assessment of qualifications from EU member states and other countries that are not yet recognised in Ukraine, and vice versa;
- Expansion of bilateral agreements and other mechanisms for mutual recognition;
- Operationalisation of the dual intent concept for vocational training in host countries;
- Mapping of vocational training opportunities abroad for Ukrainians in sectors relevant to Ukraine’s reconstruction.
