Actions taken by the Basque Government
Activities developed by the Basque Government have centred primarily on the institution of a series of organs, some of which were created prior to approval of the 1977 Basque Plan. These bodies contributed greatly to reinforcing the presence of vocational training. The most noteworthy of these organs are listed below in chronological order:
1. The Basque Council on Vocational Training, created in 1994.
2. The Basque Foundation for Continuous Training, Hobetuz, arising from an interprofessional tripartite agreement made in September 1995, and created in 1996.
3. The Basque Vocational Training System Observatory, created in 1998.
4. Basque Vocational Training and Qualifications Institute, created in 1998.
5. The Network of Integral Vocational Training Centres, created in 1998.
6. The Quality & Vocational Training Evaluation Agency, created in 2000.
7. Vice-Ministry for Vocational Training and Lifelong Learning, created in 2001.
In line with the Basque Government's policy on quality, the Vice-Ministry for Vocational Training and Lifelong Learning, which encompasses the Vocational Training Directorate, the Lifelong Learning Directorate, the Basque Qualifications Institute and the Quality & Vocational Training Evaluation Agency, has been ISO 9001:2000 certified, giving it particular relevance.
