Framework of actions for the lifelong learning development of competencies and qualifications

The European social partners have prepared Evaluation Report Framework of actions for the lifelong learning development of competencies and qualifications. This is an attempt to evaluate the impact of their actions on both companies and workers after three annual reports about the annual actions carried out on the priorities identified in their work programme 2003-2005.

The evaluation report comprises national evaluation reports jointly elaborated by social partners in the different Member States, which highlight the key features of social partners work to promote the four priorities from 2003 to 2005. European social partners also report on actions taken at the European level separately. In addition, a section entitled main trends summarises the information available on the initiatives taken from 2003 to 2005 and assesses the impact of the actions on labour markets across Europe.
