The conference provided an opportunity for policy-makers, stakeholders, experts and researchers to discuss the final findings of the future of vocational education and training (VET) project.

Since 2015 Cedefop has run a broad research programme on the Future of Vocational Education and Training in Europe, starting with the project on ‘The changing nature and role of VET in Europe’ (2015-18) and followed by the project on ‘The future of vocational education and training (VET)’ (2019-22). The aim was to gain an in depth understanding of the key challenges facing VET, including: the evolving institutions of IVET and its relative position in the overall education and training system; the characteristics and changing interaction between CVET and IVET; higher level vocational education and training; the review and renewal of VET content; and the role of assessment in forming vocational learning.

Cedefop has since 2015 run a broad research programme seeking to understand better the key challenges facing VET covering the evolving institutions of IVET and its relative position in the overall education and training system, the characteristics and interaction of CVET with IVET, higher level vocational education and training, the review and renewal of VET content and the  role of assessment in forming vocational learning.

Building on the systematic research carried out by Cedefop, the conference complemented the ongoing political discussion on the future of European VET evidenced in the July 2020 Skills Agenda, the proposal for a VET Council recommendation and the 2020 Osnabrück declaration
