EUA response to the Public consultation on a European skills and qualifications area

“The EU consultation collects the views of stakeholders regarding the potential of European policies and projects to contribute to the development of a “European Area of Skills and Qualifications”, more specifically, whether existing and still to be developed European transparency tools could further support this process, in order to:

• place a stronger focus on and enhance the relevance of skills
• strengthen links between education/training, mobility and the labour market
• enhance internationalisation
• ensure overall coherence of policies and tools
• further implement learning outcomes, boast recognition of skills and qualifications
• increase the focus on quality assurance
• and establish at EU level a one-stop access point to provide information and services supporting learners and workers in the European Area of Skills and Qualifications.

EUA has responded to all these points.”
