VET: Process of Validation of non-formal and informal learning in Switzerland
23 January 2008 9 Observal Meeting Barcelona
Challenges for the implementationof the VAE
1. New law in VET without mentioning specifically VAE
2. Various levels of experiences and acceptance:West - East and south-nord
3. Small exchange between the projects
4. Big number of stakeholders
5. No common vision
6. Only one national project: Logistics – Swiss Post
23 January 2008 10 Observal Meeting Barcelona
Questions – Discussion
• Fear of dismantling the VET system
• The possibility for people who want to validate their skills depends on the place they’re living
• Some professions are more represented in the experiences of validation of non-formal and informal learning (construction, logistics, healthcare, informatics).
