Dual-track VET is increasingly perceived as a model capable of imparting the skills required by employers. At the same time, dual-track VET is seen as a means of facilitating the integration of teenagers and young adults into the labour market.
The Swiss Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training SFIVET offers a new programme for international VET decision makers, experts and other interested parties.
The CAS programme will provide participants with a detailed understanding of the Swiss system of upper-secondary level vocational education and training as well as tertiary level professional education. Participants will analyse key features and characteristics, opportunities, challenges and limitations of VET in a critical manner. Participants will bring their country/company-specific questions into the programme and elaborate on solutions for their own country.
The CAS programme consists of 2 modules comprising a total of 300 learning hours (10 ECTS) [Update: Click here for a detailed description of the modules].
- Module 1: Basic module "Considering VET system success factors" (150 learning hours)
- Module 2: Transfer module "Optimising VET aspects in one's own country" (150 learning hours)
The CAS programme is characterised by:
- 2 blocks of classroom instruction in Switzerland (a total of two weeks) interspersed with guided self-study
- Excursions and visits to companies serve to identify transferable elements
- Intensive transfer work
- Language: English
The first CAS course will begin in August 2017. Deadline for registration: 30 April 2017.
Tuition fee: CHF 6'500.- (excluding travel costs, accommodation and meals; subject to changes)
