METALOG

METALOG (Metaframework for Logistics) aims to integrate and transfer efforts previously undertaken by various European logistics projects and initiatives, as well as to consolidate and broaden existing networks and partnerships in the sector. In previous projects (CENTRAL, EUCOLOG, Prolog, Novalog, EURO TRANS LOG, ProfDRV), foundations were laid for improved, more transparent, more innovative qualifications and training in the sector.

Within the project, the consolidation and sustainable transfer of such outcomes is supported by the development of a Qualifications Framework for the logistics sector (LQF). In order to ensure the applicability, validity and relevance of the LQF, it will be extensively tested among its target groups (logistics companies, employees, training providers, social partners and regulatory bodies and logistics experts). The results of the testing phase will then be mirrored back into the development process and the LQF will be adapted accordingly.

At the same time, the project lays the foundations to establish a European Logistics Skills Network in order to ensure the sustainable exploitation of project results and to improve the dialogue between stakeholders of skills development in the logistics sector. The skills network will support relationships between VET and the world of work with the aim of better matching VET and qualifications systems with the requirements of the labour market and in order to contribute to better anticipation of skills needs. This way, the project contributes to greater transparency and comparability between qualifications and qualifications systems as well as laying the foundations for a common qualifications framework and mutual understanding and recognition thereof in the sector.

Together with IG Metall, ITL coordinates activities related to the collection of results and outcomes from previous projects.
