Initial vocational education and training

Cedefops skill needs project has forecast a net employment increase of almost 9.5 million jobs at the medium educational level (ISCED level 3 and 4) between 2006 and 2015. This has major implications for the further development of initial vocational education, its financing and its policies.

 

Initial vocational education and training statistics provide information on general and vocational education carried out in the formal education system, usually before entering working life.

Initial vocational training, as covered by the UNESCO/OECD/Eurostat (UOE) data collection, includes solely school-based programmes and combined school and work-based programmes (if the school component accounts for at least 10 per cent and is part of the education system with appropriate oversight).
