Cedefop, in collaboration with the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU, organises the 18th Cedefop Brussels-based seminar (BBS). These research-driven seminars, organised in cooperation with the rotating EU Council Presidencies, build on research conducted by Cedefop and address issues pertinent to European debates on education, training, and employment.
This seminar will focus on the issue of inclusion of young people not in employment, education, or training (NEETs) in today’s labour market and the role VET can play in this.
The event aims to address the following four key questions:
- What are the main barriers preventing NEETs from (re)entering the labour market, and how can these be mitigated?
- How may vocational education and training (VET) and holistic targeted policies support specific groups of NEETs, such as female NEETs and remote NEETs?
- What is the profile and qualifications of teachers supporting NEETs and how can they be empowered?
- How can microcredentials support the inclusion of NEETs into the workforce?
The main objective of this seminar is to inform Brussels-based stakeholders about Cedefop’s latest research findings, knowledge hub and interactive toolkits on inclusion, providing an opportunity to showcase successful intervention approaches to empower NEETs as well as to foster policy debate and facilitate networking.
