As EU Member States strive to enhance the quality and effectiveness of their apprenticeship schemes, Cedefop organised the 6th Policy Learning Forum to support policymakers to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Through mutual exchange, it analysed how social dialogue can support the introduction and implementation of quality elements. in their apprenticeship schemes.
The 6th Policy Learning Forum, which took place on 7 October, brought representatives of governments, employees’ and employers’ organisations and apprenticeship experts from the EU and selected assession countries. Participants explored how social dialogue contributes to raising and sustaining high-quality apprenticeships.
Presentations and workshops provided cross-country and national insights on ways to improve apprenticeship though the active involvement of social partners in their design and implementation. Successful approaches and achievements provided lessons for main apprenticeship stakeholders in other countries to strengthen apprenticeship quality.
By highlighting strengths, examining challenges and illustrating successful approaches, the event supported policymakers prioritise future actions that can make apprenticeships more effective, inclusive, responsive, and attractive.
The event was organised for members of Cedefop’s Management Board (representatives of governments, employees’ and employers’ organisations), members of Cedefop’s Community of apprenticeship experts and representatives from accession countries as part of the European Training Foundation (ETF) delegation.

The event was part of the European Skills & VET Week, an initiative from the European Commission, organised by Cedefop. The Week aims to boost the visibility and attractiveness of vocational education and training (VET) and adult learning in the EU.
