Cedefop hosted the fifth Policy learning forum on apprenticeships at Cedefop’s premises in Thessaloniki, on Wednesday 2 October 2024 (in-person event).
The forum was only open to the members of Cedefop’s Management Board, i.e. representatives of governments, employer and employee organisations. It was held ahead of Cedefop’s Management Board meeting.
As part of the series of Cedefop’s PLFs on apprenticeships, the overall objective of the 2024 PLF was to offer participants the possibility of peer learning, by sharing knowledge and reflecting on the experience of various countries.
The 2024 PLF was focused on the importance and the role of social dialogue in apprenticeships.
The programme and the presentations of the event are available in the Downloads section below.
It was an opportunity for peer learning in relation to (a) how social dialogue can help better shape apprenticeship programmes in line with labour market needs; and (b) how it can contribute to attracting apprentices and therefore ensuring a qualified future workforce.
The forum combined plenary presentations, roundtable discussions, a closing panel and a structured networking session.
A summary of the discussions will be shared after the forum.
Examples of the topics discussed in previous PLFs:
- The role and use of apprenticeships in upskilling and reskilling adults (2022),
- Apprenticeship governance and in-company training design and delivery (2020),
- Apprenticeship purposes, functions and organisation approaches (2018),
- Lessons for policy making based on Cedefop thematic country reviews on apprenticeships (2017)
