Awareness is the first step in creating attractiveness on vocational education and training (VET).

Information and awareness are key, in order for someone to choose VET. The vast majority (79%) of European citizens have heard about VET and know what it VET is.

These are some of the results from Cedefop’s first opinion survey on VET in Europe, where European citizen’s perceptions on VET in the EU-28 member states have been explored.

The figure below shows that this is equally distributed among both VET and general education graduates. In the contrary, people who have not attended upper secondary are less aware of what VET is or have not heard about it at all
