RFCDC – Guidance document for vocational education and training (2024)
Vocational education and training (VET) is crucial to the eco- nomic development and growth of modern nations because it develops the skilled workforce that is needed to maintain the efficiency and competitiveness of public and private enterprises. However, VET is not exclusively about preparing learners for the labour market. As an education level, VET also prepares learners for life to act as democratic citizens. This publication explores how the Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC) can be used in VET, and offers suggestions for implementing the RFCDC in an integrated approach.
