  4. How the ETF identifies the challenges • We are here to identify challenges facing E&T and explore responses in the midst of unemployment, financial and debt problems . . . at the very time developed countries enter decades of demographic problems (demographic re-balancing?). • Growing international interest in skills and VET. The EU has been a driver in this, but increasingly also the ILO, OECD, UNESCO, World Bank and other actors such as the G20. • A challenge given the complexity of VET and the limited availability of international indicators for vocational education and training.

  5. Inspired by Torino Process, the ETF focuses on… VET system development and provision: 1) Qualifications and quality;2) Regional development and governance;3) Sustainable development; and 4) Learning in different contexts. LM needs: 1) Matching and anticipation; 2) Employment and employability; 3) Social inclusion; and 4) Migration and skills. Enterprises and entrepreneurshiplearning.
