Sažetak
The Footwear Industry in Europe has been changing in the last decade. Faced with the Far East competition, based on intensive, low-cost, unskilled manpower, there has been a downsizing of the industry which represents now less than half of the global production 10 years ago. The only way to survive is to focus on high-quality, high-end products with design and strong added value. That requires a highly-skilled, trained and motivated workforce. The TIED Shoe project plans to create a Community of Practice that allows footwear companies, stakeholders and professionals to access high quality training, share experience and present a common approach to non-European competition, integrating ECVET as a qualification framework. The definition of the TIED SHOE approach must be directly derived from the analysis of the gaps between the skills that the project target groups have when they finish training and the needs of the labour market. The consortium conducted a thorough analysis, interviewing experts and identifying current training offers at different levels of qualification throughout Europe. Furthermore, the need for ECVET incorporation in training was assessed, in terms of existing approaches and views of the stakeholders. This article traces the current European situation regarding this issue.
