In this session, participants will hear the preliminary results of a CEDEFOP study. The research focuses on the following questions: a) what are the necessary conditions to ensure a successful integration between validation and guidance activities in practice; b) how can the coherence of the outcomes of guidance and validation be assured; c) what are the benefits of stronger coordination between the two services and what are the costs and problems.

Dr Deli Salini will present the forms of support and advice available to applicants in initial vocational education and training (IVET) in Switzerland. In this context, the VPL procedures are integrated into a flexible program for the promotion of certification procedures for adults, especially addressed to low-qualified adults.
