Cedefop-EESC forum on skills: EU must anticipate trends to keep up, not just adapt to change
More flexible, and even tailored, pathways to upskilling and lifelong learning can be one way of reaching people with low skills, from poorer backgrounds and others at risk of social exclusion. Gender imbalances in labour markets still require attention. The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) and the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) held their 5th Policy learning forum on upskilling pathways on 6 and 7 February, in Brussels. The forums allow countries to learn from one another and explore ways to improve upskilling, reskilling and lifelong skills development, including training for low-skilled adults in Europe.

The challenges of the 21st century require new approaches to learning for work. Vocational education and training (VET) in Europe is evolving, but we need a clearer vision of what modern VET systems should look like.

On the road to reform: European VET on Cedefop’s 40th anniversary
Vocational education and training (VET) reform is opening up new routes for people into employment and for enterprises to develop the skills of their workforce to compete.
