Annotation:
The long-term objective is the development of a European skills and competence model that can be integrated in the existing European policies (namely Europass, EQF, EQAVET, ECTS, and ECVET) and adapted to all branches. All European policies are still lacking a standardized common skills and competence model. The overall objective of eCOTOOL is to improve the development, exchange, and maintenance of VET certificates and their accessibility and transparency by harmonizing Europass with other European instruments (EQF, ECVET) and e‐competences. This will increase the European mobility and transparency of VET systems.
