Event Management is chosen the one of the most popular 50 careers on employment outlook in the world. Event Managers are both self employed small business operators, and employees of larger organisations such as: wedding venues, hotels, resorts, exhibition companies, concert promoters and conference organisers. 95% of the Event planners in Europe do not have a certificate from a training programme. Their skills come from their work experiences. Most European countries lack qualificational coherence, standards, and training/teaching paths. Within the EU, only the UK and Germany have some kind of national standards recognized both by industry and public authorities on event management. Answering the needs of European-wide Event Managers, this project will establish an ECVET platform in order to design a path towards European standard for Event Management enhancing the mobility of workers within the cultural sector. In fact, there are numerous barriers to supply the skills acquired in this way a recognition. People need to present and future, have a high mobility in terms of work tasks to be dealt with and the successive worker. Careers are increasingly a series of work and orientation phases. Within this project, ECVET assessment of vocational skills will be developed and be used anywhere in Europe. The assessment of skills regardless of the way of skill acquisition will be possible. There are learning achievements of formal, non-formal and informal learning together. In this project, forming modular components, leading to complex action-oriented skills will be valued. In line with this objective, the partnership was formed consisting of players from the local authority, vocational research and development center, training company professional development, professional association and the institutions with experiences on ECVET .Thus partners from the ECVET and ECTS area work together on a transfer of methods for the introduction of ECVET. So at the project level, a project structure has arisen, which is try to achieve on a higher political level. In this project, An online competence assessment platform will be developed for the recognition of credits required for a competency test on event management. A modular system of credits in vocational training on event management sector will be developed and tested. Units are defined, described the action-oriented skills needed identified learning outcomes assessed and developed the competence assessment process and tested.
Adult learning covers the entire spectrum of what we learn after leaving initial education and training. This includes work- and career-oriented learning –obtaining new qualifications, up-skilling or re-skilling for employment – but also learning for personal development and active citizenship. Ensuring that Europe’s citizens keep developing their knowledge, skills and competence throughout their lives is vital for employment, competitiveness and innovation, especially considering demographic change and the challenges of globalisation. For these reasons, In this project we focus on adult learning to enhance the quality of European education as well certification and validation of their skills through an ECVET Modular system. A major concern is tackling unemployment and raising the rate of adult participation in learning, particularly of low-qualified adults and older citizens. Vocational education and training (VET) in a broad sense, including formal, non-formal and informal learning – in particular learning at the workplace – is a fundamental contribution to lifelong and lifewide learning of adults. This project contribute the recognition of abilities of adult learners which were acquired outside the formal (national) vocational education and training system such as in other countries’ VET systems, on the job, during work or study periods abroad, within in-company training or learning taking place during leisure time becomes more and more important in the light of skill shortages and skill mismatches. This is especially important in transition periods such as when recruiting new personnel, looking for a new job, changing career paths or entering into further education. In this project, The recognition of prior learning of “event managers” enables employers to make use of candidates full set of abilities, applicants to present all their abilities and those seeking additional training to shorten study periods in order to achieve a new qualification.In this project we will enhance the access of adult participation in lifelong learning ‘enabling flexible access to training and qualifications’ to raise participation and to open access for all adults. them without barriers through Online Training Platform. The ESVET project is a response to the needs of event managers who have low initial qualifications and encounter obstacles to the acceptance and certification of their professional experience. In order to improve the qualifications of workers in this sector, the project will draw up a European qualification standard for event management by describing managerial competences. It is intended to promote the recognition of learning outcomes for the event manager profile by developing a method of assessment using an ECVET and learning outcome-oriented approach. As a main product, the project will create and develop an assessment tool based on the CEMES methodology for the occupational field event manager. For this purpose, learning units are defined and action-oriented skills are described.
