‘VET systems in Europe’ is the most comprehensive information resource on vocational education and training (VET) systems in European countries.
European cooperation in VET (the Copenhagen Process) considers the rich diversity of national systems and stakeholders in Member States, EFTA-EEA countries and candidate countries. It builds its success on a flexible approach for sharing experiences, working towards common goals and learning from best practices using the 'open method of coordination'.
Understanding national VET systems, their characteristics, developments and priorities is key for cooperation. With VET systems in Europe, Cedefop collects reviews and disseminates up-to-date comprehensive information on education and training systems through four main products:
- VET in Europe database- detailed descriptions of national VET systems
- Spotlights on VET - concise descriptions of national VET systems
- Short descriptions of national VET systems prepared for the EU Presidency countries
- Videos about VET systems prepared for the EU Presidency countries.
