Who are we?

ERIFO has more than 15 years of experience in the lifelong learning sector, research, employment services, quality assurance, evaluation, competence and skill assessment and validation and EU project management. Since 2001 ERIFO has realized over 30 European Projects and nearly 200 mobilities all over Europe, exchanging experiences and practices with several organization in Europe.

ERIFO’s staff has been accredited by Regione Lazio (DGR 122/2016 i) to support users in the planning and realization of validation activities, providing assistance in the phases of identification, documentation and assessment of competences and skills.

ERIFO’s mission is to contribute to the reinforcement of VET system at local, national and European level to ensure the development of human capital and to respond to the ever-growing needs and demands of the labour market. Since January 2015, ERIFO is involved in the “Youth Guarantee” programme activities as accredited provider for training and employment services. The Youth Guarantee is an outcome-focused approach – it is about giving young people a real opportunity to increase their employability with a view to sustainable labour market integration, thus boosting overall youth employment rates. The good-quality offer should be for a job, apprenticeship, traineeship, or continued education and be adapted to each individual need and situation.

Why we are Participating in the Project

ERIFO joins the consortium in order to contribute to fill the gap in the adoption and implementation of the EQAVET criteria by VET and HVET organizations by working on the development of a standardized practical toolkit to implement the European Quality Assurance Framework for Vocational Education and Training. This is in line with ERIFO’s mission  to contribute to the reinforcement of VET system at  local, national and European level to ensure the development of human capital and to respond to the ever-growing needs and demands of the labour market.
