Learning for employment vocational education and training policy in Europe Italy
Learning for employment: second policy report • aims to contribute to and stimulate debate on the development of vocational education and training policy in the EU • looks at the development and results of vocational education and training policy in the EU, in the light of the Lisbon strategic goal to make the EU the most dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world by 2010
European vocational education and training policy framework Following Lisbon the EU established a policy to achieve the benchmarks, comprising: • developing lifelong learning • implementing agreed objectives for education and training systems • developing e-learning • promoting mobility • cooperation: Copenhagen process
Lisbon employment targets for 2010 Linked to the strategic goal is a more employment-intensive economy and targets set to: • raise average employment rate to 70% (currently 61%) • increase number of women in employment to over 60% (currently 52%) • raise average employment rate of people aged 55-64 to 50% (currently 40%)
Adult participation in lifelong learning, 2002 - 12.5% benchmark 4.6%
Conclusions of second policy report To achieve the benchmarks: • reforms underway in Member States, but need to be speeded up • achievement of Lisbon target depends on employment among four key sections of the population: women of prime working age, young people, older workers, and disadvantaged groups • continuation of current trends means a significant number of new jobs will be in occupations requiring high levels of education, and in traditionally low-skill jobs
