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 and Vocational Training in university degrees. This initiative aims to make further progress in this direction through the involvement of key agents in its development.

In the two previous editions (2022 and 2023) we have learned about the progress of the working groups created around the areas of knowledge Steam, Education, Health, and Humanity and Social Sciences, as well as different European experiences.

In 2024 the working groups have been redistributed into four new areas: Training Pathways 2+3, Validations between VET and university studies, Joint Educational Innovation Projects, and Guidance for students. In this 2024 edition, we will learn about the actions that are being developed and the challenges that lie ahead for 2025.

This initiative has been developed mainly on the Gipuzkoa Campus and in this new edition, we would especially like to encourage people from the Araba and Bizkaia to join the conference, as we intend to take a leap forward in the ambition of this project and launch a new phase of work on the three campuses.

Objectives

Building bridges between vocational training education and university education, taking into account social needs. From this context and global vision, four new pillars are envisaged:

Sharing the orientations and challenges of social transformation and reflecting on the needs of future students and professionals.
To continue to develop in this environment the types of bridges and areas of collaboration between Vocational Training Education and the University.
Prioritise the areas of collaboration and define actions for their elaboration.
Define and implement the steps to set up new pilot experiences.
