  3. Key questions: • What are the key challenges? 1.1. What is the logic? 1.2. Why start yesterday? 2. What are the key opportunities? 2.1. Policy innovation and learning; 2.2. Concentration of resources; 2.3. Increased managerial autonomy and capacity; 2.4. More flexibility and responsiveness 2.5. High levels of investment. 3. What are the next steps? sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

What are the key challenges? • What are the key challenges? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? • Two positions in the policy debate: • To pump the money to the existing network; “the key issue as seen by most national stakeholders is to <…> restore an institution that was perceived to be doing just fine”. P. Grootings, S. Nielsen, 2006. • To optimise the network. Optimisation: activity, which aims at doing something as well as possible. sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

  5. What are the key challenges? • 1.1. What is the logic? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? What is the logic (1)? • The key objectives of the VET system are: accessibility and quality; • Optimisation should seek to improve quality without damaging accessibility; • Effective functioning of the VET network is the key precondition for high quality investments sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

  6. What are the key challenges? • 1.1. What is the logic? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? What is the logic (2)? sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

  7. What are the key challenges? • 1.2. Why start yesterday? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? Why start yesterday (1)? • There is a dramatic mismatch between the supply and demand in the labor market sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

  9. What are the key challenges? • 1.2. Why start yesterday? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? Why start yesterday (3)? • The quality of practical VET is hindered by outmoded infrastructure: • During the 90s the levels of investment to the VET infrastructure had been appalling; • High number of VET providers and dispersed investments have hindered effective usage of scarce resources. • The potential for better cooperation between the VET network and the employers have not been realised. sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

  10. What are the key challenges? • What are the key opportunities? • What are the next steps? What are the key opportunities for development of practical vocational training with the support of the EU structural assistance? sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET

More flexibility and responsiveness • The key issue is to increase flexibility and responsiveness to the persistently changing labor market demand by: • Introducing modular learning system; • Increasing availability of specialised practical training modules; • Increasing the share of continuous learning (practical training) services; • Better functioning of decentralised networks for transmitting information regarding labour market demand. sdafasdfasdfasdf The opportunities for practical VET
