The aim is to stimulate partners in the EVTA network to innovate their training provision via the "Quality Label for centres of excellence". With technical experts, EVTA will develop and implement the "EVTA Quality Label" in the member organisations of the EVTA and EVBB network, who provide formal and non formal training. The Label is recognized by all members of EVTA and EVBB. The quality label is not a prescription of HOW to provide education, nor a common certification, but it includes several quality criteria for innovative and relevant education and training. The quality label is also for non formal training providers or for providers of workbased learning. This supports the idea that there are more ways of learning and achieving learning outcomes. STRATEGIC objectives:• Supporting innovation and attractiveness in VET. • Investing in social innovation: empowerment of people, bringing together civil society stakeholders in innovation of VET.• Working towards a common understanding that formal training is not the only way to achieve a qualification.• Expanding the EVTA and EVBB network towards a quality network of "centres of excellence" for attractive and relevant VET.OPERATIONAL activities and results:- Development of a framework with minimum quality standards and indicators for training providers in the EVTA and EVBB network. - Development of a self assessment grid to measure the status and progress of implementation of the standards, resulting in an action plan with priorities for improvement per organisation.- Development of a manual for implementation of the Quality Label, with quality indicators, flowcharts of processes and roles and responsibilities. - A 'Step by step' implementation and support in EVTA and EVBB member organisations: taking the results of the self assessment, there will be selected organisation taking the lead in the implementation of the Label, which are the ‘piloting’ organisations. These piloting organisation will support other organisations in the network via peer learning and good practices exchange. - Setting up a system of monitoring the implementation and maintenance of the quality label.- Designing the visual identity and communication strategyof the quality label: logo, website, database, etc.- Technical and strategic support via the GA/excom meetings and conferences of EVTA & EVBB.The quality criteria will be defined and validated by the members and are minimum standards/criteria to comply with. Examples of standards:o supporting learning outcomes based approaches o supporting work based in education and learningo including entrepreneurship in education and trainingo special attention to the 8 key competences o internationalisation o use of modern and innovative technologies in trainingo open for recognition of learning outcomes acquired in other contexts o use and implementation of the EQAVET frameworko training of trainers etc.In order to get the quality label, training providers have to comply with these criteria. This means that training providers are triggered and supported to innovate their training system, as they probably do not yet comply with all the criteria. Therewith it supports mutual trust among members and among training providers. A training provided by a "qualified" member of EVTA or EVBB, is recognized by other members and can provide an added value for both the training provider as the learner as the employer;
