Description

The UPV/EHU is taking steps to build bridges between Vocational Training and University Education within the Basque University-Business Strategy 2022. One of the actions proposed in response to these strategic objectives is the definition of the Basque framework for collaboration between the University degrees and Vocational Training.

This conference aims to make further progress along these lines through the involvement of key agents in its development.

After the first edition, the entities involved have created working groups, and in this second edition, we will know the results of its development during 2023.

Once again this year the conference will take the format of a day, from 09:00 to 14:30, with the opening and closing by the Vice-Ministers of Vocational Training and Universities and Research, and we will learn about the experience of the University of Hamburg in Germany.

Lecture: Towards new learning pathways. Deputy Minister for Vocational Training, Jorge Arévalo.
Collaboration between universities, companies and vocational schools in the Berufliche Hochschule Hamburg - UAS (BHH). Professor of Applied Informatics, Dr. Henning Klaffke.
Students' experiences: Reflection of students who have completed the training from vocational education to university and from university to vocational education.
Working groups: Education, Health, Steam, Humanity+Social Sciences.
Results of the working groups. Themes developed during the year, proposals, pilot experiences and next steps.
During the final lunch, we will have the opportunity to share what happened during the day.
