Extending Progression and Employment Opportunities Sample Clauses

Extending Progression and Employment Opportunities. The National Framework of Qualifications was established to provide for mobility and to allow holders of vocational education qualifications to progress through the levels to a point at which they wished to engage with the workplace.
