Challenges Existence of types of qualifications, one from the educational path, and another from training for work. Usability of the qualifications by the supplying institutions and the actors in the productive sector. The difference in the units of measurement of learning, between the educational and training pathways, for mobility between them. It is a challenge to build comparable quality systems to be applied to the different qualification pathways.

Lessons learned Qualifications are an effective dialogue between the social and productive demands of human talent and the education and training of people for their social and labor activities. The relevance of the learning and the quality of the learning results organized in the Qualifications Framework are a commitment for the Government with a view to sustainable human and social development. They are a recognition of the weight of education and training for work in the path of insertion, reinsertion or job retraining for all.
