Portugal: programme for public employment service reform
The goal of this programme is to keep job-seekers as close to the labour market as possible and to help improve their employability by directing specific groups of subsidised unemployed people (aged 45 and above or unemployed for six months or more) to training or occupational programmes.
Spain: Training for youth employment
With a budget of nearly EUR 42 million, a statewide training programme is now being implemented for its second year addressed to improve the skills and employability of young people under 30.
Poland: dropping out of VET – How to counteract and restrict early school leaving
Poland, highly ranked in Europe in terms of share of population with at least lower secondary education in the 20-24 age group, is also very successful in reducing early school-leaving (ESL). Currently, the ESL rate in Poland, oscillating at a level of 5%, is among the lowest in Europe. The national 2020 strategy assumes it will be further reduced to 4.5%.
Germany: the new Recognition Act
Around 2.9 million people living in Germany have migrant backgrounds and acquired their highest vocational qualification in another country. Often, however, they are unable to find employment matching their qualification. Germany's new law to improve the assessment and recognition of professional qualifications acquired abroad aims to contribute to better and more uniform regulation.
Hungary: promoting social inclusion through VET has become a priority
Inclusive education has become a highlighted issue lately in Hungary as in many other countries in Europe. Inclusiveness refers to the acceptance of all children in general and to providing individual support to learners regardless of the kind of disadvantage they might have. Due to the significantly high number of students with socioeconomic disadvantages in vocational education in Hungary promotion of social inclusion through vocational education is vital.
Bulgaria: opportunities for youth training in Bulgaria
‘First job’ is a national agreement signed by the government and social partners in Bulgaria in September 2012. Related to the initiative schemes have been launched targeting unemployed young people up to age 29; these are funded by the operational programme ‘Human resources development’. Activities include either vocational training or training in key competences, with the aim of increasing participants’ employability on the labour market.
Labour market prospects deteriorate for early leavers from education and training
In 2011, around 55% of early leavers from education and training were jobless (up by nine percentage points compared to 2008).
Spain: training and apprenticeships contracts
The Labour Reform Act recently approved in Spain includes among its new measures regulation of training and apprenticeships contracts. The aim of this type of contracts is for workers to acquire professional qualifications in the framework of Spanish VET and in alternation with employment in a company.
Romania – Promoting economic participation of Romanian women via innovative work arrangements: the case of telework
Telework for family life-work reconciliation in the EU: promoting women participation and mobility - WOMEN IN, is a project currently funded by the European Commission, the Leonardo da Vinci programme and the Transfer of innovation subprogramme.

Project

 
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.
 
European research overviews explore, analyse and interpret key themes and findings of current national VET research to identify key cross-national research topics and evidence.
