Over the course of 3 days from 5-8 July Timber Construction Europe held:
- The TCE General Assembly
- The EQF – Timber Vocational education and training presentation
- European Carpenters’ Championships
The European Vocational Education and Training in Timber Construction event, in which the stakeholders of the European vocational education and training network under the leadership of Timber Construction Europe presented the results of their project “EQF-Timber: The European Qualifications Framework in Timber Construction”, which was carried out within the framework of Erasmus took place on 7 July 2022.
The European Qualifications Framework in Timber Construction looked at:
- The vocational training landscape in European timber construction
- Development perspectives for Europe-wide vocational education and training
- Prospects for bilateral and multilateral cooperation projects based on the EQF-Timber
The IOC, as part of it’s reciprocal membership with TCE was in attendance at the European Carpenters’ Championships and it is hoped that there will be a UK entry at the next event in two years’ time.
Having left the EU the UK is no longer a part of the Erasmus scheme. It is hoped that further details on the UK replacement Turing Scheme recently announced by the government will be available with clear information on funding and other options available in time for the 2024 event.
