EU prio­ri­ties in VET — from Osnabrück to Herning and beyond

The Council recom­men­da­ti­on on voca­tio­nal education and training (VET) for sus­tainable com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness, social fairness and resi­li­ence, along with the Osnabrück Declaration, launched the current policy cycle in 2020 and encou­ra­ged countries to set ambitious national plans to implement VET prio­ri­ties up to 2030. Cedefop has been moni­to­ring and analysing this imple­men­ta­ti­on, using infor­ma­ti­on collected annually by its European network of expertise in VET (ReferNet).

Based on the analysis of more than 400 measures, policies and initia­ti­ves launched across the EU-27, Norway and Iceland (EU-27+), Cedefop will present and discuss main trends and deve­lo­p­ments, chal­lenges and renewed VET policy prio­ri­ties of the Herning Declaration.
