✅ EUVETMC validates non-formal and informal learning
Types of learning:
📖 FORMAL: courses with official qualification
📘 NON-FORMAL: training without qualification (company, MOOCs)
📗 INFORMAL: work experience, self-learning
Until now, only formal learning had "papers".
EUVETMC changes this:
→ 15 years of experience → microcredential
→ Competences mapped to ESCO
→ Digitally verifiable
Fulfilling the Council Recommendation

🤝 EUVETMC and the Pact for Skills
How does EUVETMC contribute to the European upskilling initiative?
📊 For companies:
→ Standardised training documentation
→ Visibility in credentials
📊 For sectors:
→ Common ESCO competences
→ Microcredentials recognisable between companies
📊 For impact measurement:
→ Aggregated competence data
→ Progress tracking
→ ROI evidence
The Pact asks for commitment. EUVETMC documents it.

🧱 Stackability: the power of EUVETMC
Microcredentials accumulate towards recognised qualifications.
Example - Renewable Energy Technician:
📦 Solar fundamentals: 3 ECVET
📦 Photovoltaic installation: 4 ECVET
📦 Storage: 3 ECVET
📦 Maintenance: 4 ECVET
📦 Regulations: 2 ECVET
= 16 ECVET → Full qualification
Benefits:

Training at your own pace
Each step has its own value
Combine work and study

📊 EUVETMC + ESCO enables gap analysis at European scale
How does it work?

System knows each person's ESCO competences
Jobs define required ESCO competences
Analysis identifies exact gaps

For learners:
"You're missing 3 competences for X. Recommended microcredentials: A, B, C"
For employers:
"Candidate with 85% match. Gap in competences Y and Z"
For public policy:
"Regional deficit in industrial automation"
#SkillsGap #ESCO #EUVETMC #Employability #VET #DataDriven

🔗 ESCO + EUVETMC: the training-employment bridge
EUVETMC requires MANDATORY mapping to the ESCO taxonomy.
What does this mean?
Each competence acquired in VET connects with:

Skills recognised by EU employers
Requirements for specific occupations
Labour market standards

Practical outcome:
✓ Automatic candidate-job matching
✓ Identify skills gaps
✓ Data-driven career guidance
