  Ecorys UK

  Jan 2008 - Dec 2013

  I manage the ECVET Experts project in the UK (www.ecvetexperts.org.uk). The project aims to raise awareness of ECVET (the European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training). ECVET is a set of principles and common language that helps individuals' learning experiences in a different European country to be recognised. I coordinate a pool of Experts, ensuring that our KPIs are achieved in a timely manner and the outputs are ''fit for purpose.' I have produced a range of communications materials and organised a number of events that are relevant to policy makers and VET trainers and providers. I also edit and proofread a range of texts; from English language materials produced by the EU Information Centre in Croatia to in-house publications. Show less
