The importance of Vocational Education

Vocational education and training (VET) provide learners with essential skills enhancing their employability, support their personal development and encouraging active citizenship. VET boosts enterprise performance, competitiveness, research and innovation.

VET systems in Europe rely on a well-developed network of VET stakeholders. These networks are governed by the involvement of social partners, such as employers and trade unions, and in different bodies, for example, chambers, committees and councils.
