PACE-VET attempts to provide significant contributions to the validation of competences in the live performance and event technology sectors in a European context. The validation and recognition of prior, non-formal and informal learning on a European level via microcredentials should contribute to a more inclusive, resilient, mobile, and sustainable labour market.
The project provided:
The APP
An application as a mobile-based tool for the storage of learning outcomes in a Learning Record Store and access to mentoring and assessment possibilities.
The PACE-VET Application offers a multitude of possible features to empower individuals in their life-long learning journey and to support labour-market needs. In its’ current release, it cannot neither offer all features nor provide the anticipated quality of user experience needed for successful implementation.
Documentation and User Guideline:
Development of Microcredentials ‘Lighting & Sound’ and Training for Assessor
The assessor training and assessment processes carried out in the project provide sufficient proof that microcredential units of learning outcomes in the live performance and event technology sectors can be assessed and documented. The necessary resources for assessment are currently cost-intensive. These could be greatly minimized by establishing a sufficiently financed entity to build partnerships within the sector and begin implementation.

Implementation of Particial Certification and Best Practice Report
The TeBeVAT project determined sector specific skills, competences, knowledge blocks and transversal skills at the EQF Level 4 using the common denominator ESCO for a general description of seven (7) occupational profiles. Sector specific mentor and assessor profiles were also defined. This was the prerequisite for the creation of microcredentials (competence bundles) and their assessment. PACE-VET has proven that assessment of learning outcomes backed by robust quality assurance for a limited set of microcredentials is possible. At the same time, limits on implementing and maintaining such processes became evident. Earmarked European funding to establish an entity (ETTEC) to roll-out the process, improve the application, and monitor its use would facilitate the need for the recognition of learning outcomes in the sector acquired both inside and outside education.
