Project Summary

CONTEXT OF THE PROJECT

The demand for jobs in the Transport & Logistics sector(s) which require ever increasing levels of qualification is growing. Additionally, national dynamics tend to extend to the European level: standardisation and certification, cooperation and coordination through social dialogue and exchange of common approaches, tools, and standards across different fields and Member States.

OBJECTIVES

The ETL4ALL project (European transparent Transport and Logistics EQF level 4 qualifications for All) responds to these developments by ensuring that Transport & Logistics EQF (European Qualifications Framework) level 4 qualifications are available in the four partner countries (France, Belgium, Italy and Spain) and by making them compatible with the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) to allow recognised mobility at EQF level 4.

NUMBER AND PROFILE OF THE PARTICIPATING ORGANISATIONS

• AFT (France) – coordinator of the project : Professional association in the transport and logistics sector
• Le FOREM (Belgium) : Public Service for Employment and Training in Wallonia
• CCGPE (Belgium) : Department of the Ministry in charge of secondary education (Federation Wallonia-Brussels)
• GENCAT (Spain) : Government of Catalonia – Regional Ministry of Education
• ITL (Italy) : Research institute in the fields of mobility, transport & logistics

DESCRIPTIONS OF THE MAIN ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT

To reach its objectives, the first step was the development of shared references at EQF level 4 that are accepted and validated by all the partners of the project for the two profiles: transport and logistics and road freight driver.

The second step was the drafting of concrete mobility tools to support learner mobility such as quality charters for training centres and companies hosting learners, the selection of training centres which will test and implement our results to organise recognised mobility and a template for the description of their organisation, as well as a learning agreement template.

RESULTS AND REACHED IMPACTS

Development of shared references at EQF level 4 in transport and logistics and for the road freight driver:
• National reports on the existing job profiles
• Common job profiles corresponding to EQF level 4
• Occupational standards corresponding to EQF level 4
• Competence standards for EQF level 4 qualifications in transport and logistics
• Knowledge limits

Development of mobility tools which have been adopted by NETINVET:
• Quality charter for training centres
• Quality charter for companies hosting trainees
• Learning agreement template to support mobility

Creation of a network of training centres and schools ready to test our results and to implement recognised mobility at EQF level 4 in transport and logistics and for the road freight driver.

Integration of these training centres and schools in the existing mobility network NETINVET. NETINVET is a mobility network of more than 70 training centres and schools from eight European countries. Mutual trust has been established to make learners mobile in the sectors of International Trade and Transport & Logistics.
