Zusammenfassung
In the year 2008, European Union authorities published the European Qualification Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning (cp. EU 2008) to increase transparency of qualifications, mobility of workers and image of VET and requested the member states to develop National Qualification Frameworks (NQFs), to level the national respective regional qualifications of all sectors and to refer the NQFs to the EQF. Since then no or only very small advantages induced by NQFs were published. One of the main reasons is the inherent broadness respective openness of the descriptors of the levels. A promising approach to overcome this dilemma are Sector Qualification Frameworks (SQF); ICSAS project developed, implemented and evaluated a SQF for the sector of industrial shoe production. Findings can be summarised as follows: SQFs are a step towards transparency and recognition of qualifications – but no silver bullet.
