COMMUNITY CALL
WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY!
We believe that we are stronger only if we act all together. Let's find out more about each other.

We are seeking to open a BLOG section on EURASHE website where we could share our community members' achievements, news, insights, articles, book reviews on higher education and other related topics.

We are also looking for candidates who would like to be interviewed and share their professional career stories and insights on the future of HE. Do you know someone you could suggest for the next interview? Or maybe you are the one we are looking for? Get in touch with us: dovile.sandaraite@eurashe.eu
NEW TOOL TO ENSURE 
APPRENTICESHIPS' QUALITY
SAPS ( Supporting Apprenticeships between Professional Higher Education & Small and  Medium Enterprises ) after a set of national workshops and partner meetings developed the Apprenticeship Quality Toolkit which provide a hands-on, easy-to-use managem ent tool for PHEIs and SMEs, to ensure the  quality of the apprenticeships and a beneficial cooperation for all.

The Toolkit follows a quality management system style approach and works in two directions: inside-in, by structuring the organisational processes for successful collaboration for apprenticeships delivery, and inside out, as a quality assurance tool for transparency. 

You can find the Apprenticeship Quality Toolkit here.
