Today Frontex published a call for proposals for National Integration of Sectoral Qualifications Framework (SQF) through curriculum development, review and accreditation at national level.
The SQF is a framework of knowledge, skills and professional competences for all types of border guard activities across the EU. The SQF encompasses all levels of qualifications required in vocational and academic education and training for border guards.
Successful applicants will work together with international experts to develop new educational programmes for European border guards or review the existing ones in line with Bologna/Copenhagen principles (which facilitate mobility and exchange of students and teachers in the EU) and align them with the SQF. The process will be monitored and supported by Frontex experts.
Individual projects may receive up to 30,000 EUR contribution from Frontex. The deadline for submitting applications is 30 September 2016.
