In this way, WACOM strove to lead to a supposed increase in the volume of mobility throughout Europe as well as to a higher transparency and recognition of qualifications and competences.

The project aimed at creating general as well as particular modular VET opportunities and products in the water management concerning the addressed competences and qualifications.

WACOM also supported the European comparability and recognition of vocational training through the combination with credit points (ECVET) and thus mobility.

The overall objective of WACOM was the development and transfer of a reference model for competence modelling into the water sector of the partner countries, enabling the identification of the VET needs by the employees and learners of required competences and qualifications at specific working places as well as of the improvement of transparency and comparability of VET opportunities and products.

The development of the WACOM instrument was supported by the transfer of the competence and qualification model into the water sector and by the adaptation for the selected topic management of sewage treatment plants.
