The ETBI RPL conference ‘Mainstreaming RPL in the ETB FET context’ launches the ‘Evaluation of TOBAR' – a pilot project in the recognition of prior learning. This project was delivered in partnership with the Irish Defence Forces and10 ETBs in 2018 and 2019. The recommendations set out in the TOBAR Report show considerable promise in the mainstreaming of RPL across the ETB and FET sector. The conference will launch this pivotal report, and showcase the experiences of learners and employers who have participated and engaged with RPL processes.
Contributions from CEDEFOP, SOLAS and QQI will focus on validation and policy in the national and international context. A final panel discussion with our contributors will provide an opportunity to expand on the themes discussed.
The event will be the launchpad for a series of RPL webinars from themes emerging from the conference, which will commence in 2022.
