AVETAE is very involved in EU / donor-funded adult education / VET programs, with aims of Erasmus+ (mobility, partner cooperation, lifelong learning, skills matching, adult education). Some of the main projects:
- Modular Adult Education Programs with DVV International
AVETAE has a cooperation agreement (since June 2022) with DVV International to develop short-term (modular) Adult Education (AE) programs in six Competence Centers (CCs) and selected vocational (VET) schools in various regions of Kosovo.
These programs are developed based on occupational standards approved by the National Qualifications Authority (NQA) and aligned with the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) of Kosovo. - Workshops & Review of Programs
- In Dec 2023, AVETAE + DVV International organized a workshop to present draft short-term modular ICT program for adults, reviewing modules, certification, hours etc.
- In July 2024, workshop “Coordination of actors for implementation of ALE (Adult Learning & Education) Programs” to assess progress, analyze challenges, and produce recommendations (legislative, financial, certification, teacher incentive etc.).
- Earlier workshops/seminars (summer 2022) to inform stakeholders of modular adult education programs and their intended implementation in competence centers and VET schools.
- EPALE Kosovo & Adult Education Collaboration
AVETAE is part of the Expert Group for the National Support Service (NSS) for EPALE in Kosovo. This involves shaping adult learning agenda, helping with dissemination, sharing practices, advisory role. - Role in National Strategy & Policy Alignment
AVETAE’s aims align with the Kosovo Education Strategic Plan (KESP) 2022-2026, especially for adult education / lifelong learning, inclusion, adapting to labor market demands.
