Competence framework for VET professions

This handbook of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training CEDEFOP has been produced to support practitioners and decision-makers, such as teachers, trainers and administrators, in their efforts to support the professional development and well-being of VET professionals and organisations.
Existing descriptions of the competences of teaching professionals mainly encompass those working in general education. This handbook is an attempt to capture the fast-evolving and complex activities and competences required of those working within vocational education and training.
The Handbook can be dowloaded from the CEDEFOP website.

Global Partnership

The Robert W. Campbell Award is organized by the US National Safety Council (NSC) and supported by a network of 22 global partners across five continents. We are proud to announce that ENETOSH has become a member recently.
The international Award recognizes organizations that have successfully integrated health, safety and environmental management into their overall business operations. These cases, demonstrating health and safety and economic productivity have been converted to be used as resources for engineering and business schools, and to promote partnerships with business schools and cooperation with professors.
ENETOSH will support the Award’s work by promoting it and nominating candidates to serve on the international panel of reviewers.

Integrating risk concepts into undergraduate engineering courses

This report describes a joint project conducted by HSL and the University of Liverpool Engineering Department to integrate risk concepts into their undergraduate engineering course. The project defined risk education learning outcomes that can be integrated into an undergraduate engineering curriculum and implementing them by merging new teaching materials (involving real accident case studies) into core engineering modules. The report and the work it describes were funded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The report was compiled by Nicola Stacey and Chris Simpson from HSL and Dr. Graham Schleyer from the University of Liverpool and is available for download on the HSE website.
