About VET for youth - Teachers and trainers

Initial VET (IVET) enables young people’s employability and participation in lifelong learning. We collect and analyse VET policies and good practices, we develop tools for policy makers and practitioners and conduct research supporting the social inclusion and labour market integration of leaners at risk of dropping out, early leavers from education and training and young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs).

Teachers and trainers are an essential driving force for high quality and inclusive education and training. We provide new evidence about VET teachers and trainers’ professional development, and create tools to support them.

From 2020 to 2022, Cedefop carried out a feasibility study for surveying principals, teachers, learners and in-company trainers in initial vocational education and training (IVET) settings. The study aimed to assess the possibility for launching a European survey to fill important knowledge and research gaps and lay the groundwork for building robust evidence in the future on the teaching and training professions.
