Bodies operating in the field of jobs and skills

Non-govermental organisations such as the Hungarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry play a major role in the developement of the professional and examination requirements of OKJ qualifications, the organization of vocational examinations, quality assurance functions related to school – based IVET.

National Interest Reconciliation Council.

Adult Training Accreditation Body performs tasks related to institution and programme accreditation and quality assurance in adult training (national level).

Seven regional developement and training committees, operated by the

Education Office, play an increasingly important role in VET administration.

Regional integrated vocational training centres (TISZK), have been funded to get access to structural funds.

Hungarian VET system

VET system exist under the Ministry for National Economy (as a State Secretry but other state Secretaries are also involved in the development of the content of VET).

The National Institute of Vocational and Adult Education assist as Ministry. The Ministry’s developements, coordination, research, information and consultancy tasks are releated to VET and adult training.

County goverments’ and local municipalities’ main role is to maitain public schools, including VET schools. These bodies have to develop a quality management programme defining their expectation towards its schools and their inspection activites.

Further organisation with a significant role in VET administration is National Interest Reconciliation Council (OÉT).

REGULATION

In Hungary the provision of VET is governed by Act LXXVI of 1993.

All state recognised vocational qualifications obtainable within or outside

the school system are defined in the National Qualification Register (OKJ)

providing a unified qualification system linking IVET and CVET.

Both IVET and CVET are provided in three sub-sectors of education:

public education, higher education and adult training.

QUALITY ASSURANCE

At national level

the Adult Training Accreditation Body (FAT)

perform tasks related to institution and programme accreditation and

quality assurance in adult training.

Main „point” of VETIn the Hungarian Steel Industry

Professional training (skilled workforce) in the Hungarian Steel Industry

There is a lack of professionals in a lot of professions in other areas there are too many. The number of vocational students is continuously decreasing. The school-system training of the traditional metallurgists professions (smelter, roller, caster, etc.) has practically ceased by the end of the millennium.

There are fewer and fewer courses at the higher-level professional training in the traditional metallurgical field.

Supplying the skilled workforce has required serious organizational and financial efforts from the steel industrial companies in the past years and even presently as well.
