Education

Significant changes in training and learning have been amplified as a result of Covid-19. This major shift concerned us all. We experienced, at the national and European levels, new forms of training and learning. Our organisations have been forced to reconsider skills development, both for trainers and learners. Provided that our learning approach - active and learner’s centred - will not change, we are here to build the “new normality”. There’s a common need to reflect on what happened since 2020 before looking to the future with awareness and plans.

Each year, the ETUI provides training to over 1,000 employee representatives from European Works Councils, SE Works Councils or Special Negotiating Bodies. Our mission is to impart practical know-how in order to strengthen the distinctive role of EU-level employee representatives. Our educational trademark combines an EWC benchmark (based on leading employee-oriented in-house research) with EWC action learning (interactive training formats, targeted towards improving EWC operations and functioning).

Accreditation of an education or training provider: the process of quality assurance through which accredited status is granted to an education or training provider, showing it has been approved by the relevant legislative or professional authorities by having met predetermined standards. 

Certification of learning outcomes: the process of issuing a certificate, diploma or title formally attesting that a set of learning outcomes (knowledge, know-how, skills and/or competences) acquired by an individual have been assessed and validated by a competent body against a predefined standard. Certification may validate the outcome of learning acquired in formal, non-formal or informal settings. 

The present material serves to raise awareness on the reality of platform work among national trade union organizations. The ETUI initiative responds to the identified training needs for a common approach to development of this topic at EU level, based on proposals expressed by the ETUC’s member organizations. The ETUI’s choice of the pedagogical design of this training material reflects the different trade union education needs/approaches existing in the affiliated organizations. The proposed programs have been structured in a general concept.

This publication is a reference document on the Eurotrainers’ learning pathway and on the accreditation procedure for trainers undergoing the process of validation of their competences, prior education and learning.

This is one of the key courses organized and delivered by the ETUI education department every year.

ETUI Education offers a distinctive European Trade union training programme in a multicultural setting.

We provide high quality training on key competences, skills and knowledge to European Trade union members and officers, that is focused on strengthening and expanding the sense of belonging to a common community.

The ETUI Green Competence Framework Approach has guided the design of this decentralized course. More precisely, during this course, participants will develop their systemic, collective, and prospective competences applied to the European Green Deal.
