EVC
EVC stands for Recognition of Acquired Competences. This is a procedure through which an individual's knowledge and skills are formally recognized, regardless of how they were acquired. Consequently, EVC procedures are often used to validate and document informal and non-formal learning.
This can, for example, help in obtaining a diploma, certificate, or qualification. Firstly, EVC encourages lifelong learning by motivating individuals to continuously develop their knowledge, skills, and experiences, regardless of their age or background. This is essential in a society that is constantly evolving, where new skills and knowledge quickly become relevant. Another important aspect is the impact on the labor market.
By recognizing competences acquired outside traditional educational structures, EVC enhances individuals' access to and mobility within the labor market. Additionally, EVC contributes to the quality assurance of the education system by ensuring that acquired competences are assessed and recognized in a standardized and validated manner. In terms of inclusion and equal opportunities, EVC plays a crucial role by acknowledging experiences and competences gained outside conventional academic pathways.
In short, EVC is vital for the Flemish government as it contributes to an inclusive society, improved labor market access, and the development of a competent and resilient workforce ready to respond to the challenges of modern times.
