Development of new technologies and sophisticated manufacturing processes puts high demand for skilled labour. It is a challenge for the education sector. Education and training are different in different countries. The solution is to shift the definition of clear and transparent outcomes of the educational process, allowing comparison between them and create the space for cooperation between countries and institutions. A key tool in this regard is the European Qualifications Framework. It links national qualification systems of various countries into a common reference system, which significantly supports the mobility of citizens as well as workers and it also facilitates access to lifelong learning, which allows a flexible response to ongoing social and economic changes.
