Benefits of vocational education and training in Europe for people, organisations and countries
People, organisations and governments invest in vocational education and training (VET) because they believe there will be positive outcomes. VET produces many benefits, such as higher wages, improved productivity and economic growth. VET also brings non-economic benefits, such as greater, lower absenteeism and less crime. Most research on benefits of VET has focused on specific relationships, such its impact on productivity or health. Non-economic benefits from VET have been analysed for individuals and societies. Insufficient attention has been given how VET’s market and non-market benefits interact in organisations. VET contributes directly to higher productivity by increasing skill levels, but also indirectly by increasing job satisfaction and lowering absenteeism. Using existing and new research covering more European countries, Cedefop’s publication argues that many of VET’s benefits, perhaps the most important, are difficult to express in monetary terms. Organisations (as well as individuals and governments) may fail to take full account of VET’s benefits and how they interact when deciding to invest in it. A better understanding its full benefits may not only influence the likelihood of investing in VET, but is important for organisations competing on the basis of high quality, high value-added goods and where skills and attitudes need to combine to bring success.

On the way to 2020: data for vocational education and training policies

Indicator overviews

This report complements a recent Cedefop publication (On the way to 2020: Data for vocational education and training policies - Country statistical overviews (Cedefop, 2013)), which has made use of the same data but has organised them in a different way. While the previous report offered a set of country snapshots, this publication offers a set of indicator snapshots. It is a result of continuing efforts to review and improve indicators as new and better data become available.
