The attractive program of the Show attracted real crowds! One of the exhibitors at the Fair was the Educational Research Institute, whose stand also enjoyed considerable interest from the participants of the event. The presence of IBE at the Fair was linked to the development of the Sectoral Qualifications Framework for the moto industry.

    Qualifications in the automotive industry

    At IBE’s stand, guests could talk about the Integrated Qualifications System or read printed materials about the system’s operation. In addition, on Saturday 30 March, a debate was held on the Integrated Qualifications System with representatives of the industry and IBE. The meeting discussed the needs of the labour market in the automotive industry, the situation in sectoral schools and the benefits that the IQS can bring to the sector by preparing better qualified personnel. During the debate, participants sought to answer the question of whether formal education today responds to the needs of the labour market. The subject of the complementarity of market qualifications and those attained through formal learning was also discussed.
