EFFAT fully agrees that new skills profiles have to be incorporated in existing vocational education and training policy and curricula, through cooperation between education authorities, social partners and institutions for vocational and higher education.

EFFAT acknowledges that in most Member States, employers' associations and trade unions are involved in vocational education and training, and are permanently working on developing and modernising qualification and training, and to adapting it to new skills needs.
One example are the new curricula for hospitality professions in Germany, elaborated between BIBB, DEHOGA and NGG, concluded on 9 March 2022 and published in the Bundesgesetzblatt on 14 March 2022:
- Verordnung zur Neuordnung der Ausbildung in den Hotel- und Gastronomieberufen 
- Verordnung über die Berufsausbildung zum Koch und zur Köchin
- Verordnung über die Berufsausbildung zur Fachkraft Küche

EFFAT pledges to:
- continue collecting examples of the modernisation of vocational education and training via its national member organisations
- share examples of successful adaptation
> with social partners in the Sectoral Social Dialogue Committees (SSDC) Horeca and Contract Catering
> with EU institutions and tourism stakeholders in the framework of the Pact for Skills in Tourism, the European Year of Skills 2023, the Tourism Transition Pathway, the European Alliance for Apprenticeships

The concrete target is to share examples of successful modernisation of VET curricula and incorporation of new skills needs through at least 4 knowledge sharing events and/or publications yearly, aiming to reach tourism education stakeholders in all interested Members States.
