The Council recommendation on vocational education and training (VET) for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness and resilience, along with the Osnabrück Declaration, launched the current policy cycle in 2020 and encouraged countries to set ambitious national plans to implement VET priorities up to 2030. Cedefop has been monitoring and analysing this implementation. Based on the analysis of more than 400 measures, policies and initiatives launched across the EU-27, Norway and Iceland (EU-27+), Cedefop will present main trends and developments followed by discussion of implementation challenges and renewed VET policy priorities of the forthcoming Herning Declaration. The trends in modernising VET curricula; reskilling and upskilling; strengthening lifelong guidance; embracing digitalisation and reaching out and supporting vulnerable learner groups will be discussed. The trends will be illustrated by country examples and stakeholder views. The VGT will be open to representatives from national, regional and local authorities, social partners, VET institutions, experts and practitioners, decision-makers.
