INtheLOOP4VET
The project sets out to develop a framework and tools for the operationalisation of a feedback loop involving graduate data collection, data processing and adaptation to constantly shifting labour market environment by VET providers themselves.
This objective is driven by the need for VET providers to strengthen their capacities for independent self-adaptation (effectively exploiting advantages of flexibility, local market intelligence, proximity to communities), through efficient graduate data handling and processing, within processes of alignment with labour and other market needs. Simultaneously, the project adopts an integrated approach aiming to promote harmonization of such feedback loop practices and resources across VET contexts and the development of international standards, data sharing, co-processing and transparency in implementing them.
InTheLoop4VET project encompasses capacity development activities on graduate data generation and use, institutional adaptation, development of digital feedback loop supporting tools and networking for data sharing and interoperability of feedback loops. The methodological approach is modular in design in addressing distinct stages required for setting up a feedback loop mechanism at VET provider level, based on generating and using graduate tracking data and market intelligence in a targeted and combined provision adaptation approach.
Objectives of the project
OBJ1. Increasing engagement of VET providers in the establishment and implementation of feedback loops
OBJ2. Building VET providers’ capacities for generating & collecting graduate tracking data
OBJ3. Improving VET providers’ uses of tracking data for provision adaptation purposes
OBJ4. increasing graduate data sharing rates and comparability of VET graduates’ data
Expected Results
The list below provides an overview of the intellectual outputs and multiplier events that will be materialized by the InTheLoop4VET partnership in the course of the project (described in detail in outputs section)
- VET graduate tracking toolkit (O1)
- Tracking data and provision performance correlation mechanism (02)
- VET provision adaptation framework (O3)
- Recommendations for VET providers and repository of VET provision adaptation results (O4)
- 5 information days on the InTheLoop4VET project in partner countries to share and disseminate project results (E1-E5)
Project Activities
- IO1 – Graduate tracking toolkit for VET providers
The first output is a toolkit for generating and collecting graduate tracking data - IO2 – Tracking data and provision performance correlation mechanism
The result of Output 2 is a tracking data and institutional performance correlation mechanism in the form of resources for the improvement of data uses - IO3 – VET provision adaptation framework
At the end of IO3 development, there will be an adaptation framework, particularly geared towards the improvement of providers’ capacities for responsiveness to labour market needs - IO4 – Recommendations of VET providers and repository of VET provision adaptation results
The last Output is a recommendations paper meant to function as a dissemination vehicle for the uptake of project results
