Transition from school or training to work

In 2016 Cedefop launched its first ever opinion survey aimed at investigating European citizens’ opinions on Vocational Education and Training (VET). A total of 35,646 interviews were conducted among the citizens of the Member States. The survey provides unprecedented data on European’s opinions on awareness, attractiveness and effectiveness of vocational education and training in Europe.

Within the EU policy framework, Cedefop carries out research and knowledge brokering activities to provide evidence to support policy making at the EU and national levels and to support European cooperation on apprenticeships and work-based learning among Member States.
