EBC’s core value is to place importance on their candidates and put them in the driving seat and the college’s role is more of a facilitator, rather than to be a bureaucratic and impeding authority. This vision is envisaged for the next generation of learners, blurring the artificially imposed boundaries to a point where learning is recognised wherever and whenever it has taken place. It is an endeavour to emphasize the concept of Orthodox Universities to combat the challenges faced by our global workforce to meet the future requirements. EBC’s Knowledge Orientated Professional Degrees which are affiliated to European International University are aimed at an individual’s own achievement confirmation and not just toward theoretical knowledge.
It is conspicuous among 21st century employees that they might not have faced any problem in their jobs but their progress is stalled by the inexperienced younger academic generation who are overtaking the experienced Hands-on Working Executives, not because of their lack of knowledge or competencies, but they do not hold a Legitimate Professional Certification. The progression is stagnated due to not having a valid Certification of Knowledge Ability.
“Lifelong learning is about more than diversifying the loci and modi of learning, more than expanding access and opportunity, more indeed than transferring primary agency from the educator to the learner. Its value is nothing less than the inspiration for a new idea of human society. Lifelong learning, like sustainable development, is a notional germ from which a different kind of society may sprout; one that values learning both for its uses and its own sake and that likewise values people both for what they do and who they are. Such a “learning society” is not as distant or utopian a vision as it might at first seem. Its inception requires that we re-examine how and why we learn, and then harness our creativity to design systems of learning that enrich all aspects of our lives.” – Published in UNESCO Institute of Lifelong learning
