Portugal: adult education survey 2011: Of the population aged 18 to 69, 46% participated in some kind of education or training in 2011.
Silver workers - golden opportunities: The European workforce is getting older. By 2060 there will be only two people of working age (15-64 years) in the European Union for every person aged over 65 years, compared to four to one today. Many EU countries, in response are increasing retirement ages.
Unemployment continues to grow in the EU, but at a slower pace now: The unemployment rate in the EU has peaked at 10.5% (higher than in 2008 by 3.4 percentage points). But between 2010 and 2012 it grew less, with some countries reporting stable or even declining trends.
Iceland: matching skills to labour market needs: the new skills network: The new skills network (NSN), coordinated by the Icelandic national agency for the lifelong learning programme (LLP) since the beginning of 2010, brings together national agencies from 15 countries responsible for implementation of the LLP. The NSN is one of five European thematic networks, all similar regarding working method, life cycle (three years) and project resources.
Luxembourg: the economically-active population and lifelong learning - State of play: In 2010, the Luxembourg Training Observatory launched a survey ( ) to evaluate the economically-active population’s perception of lifelong learning. Results of this survey were extremely valuable. Of respondents, 90% see continuous training as a solution to improve their skills and increase their working value.
Denmark - Improving VET pathways to higher education: Two separate reports reflect on participation in tertiary level education among students with a VET background. Guidance is considered a key factor in improving participation rates.
Italy - CVET trends in Italy: The total amount spent on continuing training of workers in Italy is about EUR 5 billion a year. Total resources for the training of Italian workers made available by the European Social Fund, national laws (236/93 and 53/00) and the Sectoral Training Funds amount to about EUR 1 billion a year.
Estonia - Developing key competences in VET: The implementation of the key competences recommended by the European Parliament started in Estonia in 2010 and is now well underway. The recommendation of the European Parliament (2006) defines eight key competences: communication in one’s mother tongue, communication in foreign languages, mathematical and technological competence, digital competence, learning to learn, social and civic competences, sense of initiative and of entrepreneurship, and cultural awareness and expression.

: Europass is a portfolio of five documents, designed to make skills and qualifications clearly and easily understood across Europe.
: The European credit system for vocational education and training (ECVET) helps individuals who are trying to acquire a VET qualification to move between countries and gain access to lifelong learning. It does so by making it easier to transfer, to have recognised and to accumulate assessed learning outcomes. In cooperation with the European Commission, Cedefop provides technical and analytical support for the implementation of the ECVET Recommendation at the EU, national and sectoral levels.
: Continuing earlier activities on older workers and lifelong learning, this project aims to increase understanding of and provide new insights into ageing and work through new research. Its purpose is to support evidence-based active ageing policies in the context of widespread population ageing in many western societies.
: Cedefop supports the development of a European adult learning policy as part of the lifelong learning strategy by following up the Council’s conclusions and the European Commission’s action plan on adult learning. Cedefop monitors and reviews adult learning trends and policy developments such as wider access to and adult participation in education and training, strengthening the quality of provision and upgrading the qualifications of the adult population.
About Lifelong Guidance: Cedefop’s lifelong guidance project reviews Member States’ progress in implementing the Council resolutions on lifelong guidance (2004, 2008). To this end, Cedefop carries out research, organises knowledge sharing events and cooperates with the European Commission and Member States through the European lifelong guidance policy network (ELGPN).
: The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) is a common European reference framework. It acts as a translation grid which links countries' qualifications systems/framework. It covers qualifications at all levels and in all sub-systems of education and training (general and adult education, vocational education and training as well as higher education). Its main role is to make qualifications more readable and understandable across different countries and systems. In close cooperation with the European Commission, Cedefop provides analytical and coordination support for the implementation of the EQF and carries out a number of comparative studies and analysis on issues related to the implementation of the framework at EU, national and sectoral level.
: In this project Cedefop monitors and analyses progress towards achieving targets in vocational education and training that have been agreed within the Copenhagen process of enhanced European cooperation. A new report, “A bridge to the future. European policy for vocational education and training 2002-2010” has been published on 7 December 2010. This is Cedefop’s fourth report on European policy cooperation. For the full list of policy reports see “Selected for you”.
