| Résumé : | But how have EU member states responded to the dire economic and social situation and to the international call to improve IVET opportunities for young people? Has the crisis provoked a convergence of strategies across member states? Have the changed circumstances altered the governance of VET institutions, or the actors involved? Vocational education and training and the Great Recession: supporting young people in a time of crisis. The report set outs to answer these questions by providing a detailed overview of several European countries and their VET policies before and after the onset of the crisis. The report shows that social security reductions for employers hiring apprentices have been widespread as policy makers have sought to encourage VET and the creation of apprenticeships. Yet several countries have seen a substantial reduction in numbers of companies providing training, accompanied by spiralling redundancies among apprentices, indicating low commitment among employers – particularly in market-led VET systems – to providing apprenticeship opportunities. Furthermore, the report draws attention to changes in the governance of VET that are attributable, in the main, to decentralization and associated opportunities for stronger social partner involvement in local-level VET activities. The report concludes that, while considerable discussion and activity has been seen at the European and national levels, far more needs to be done to support young workers’ initial transitions from education and training into work, as well as to improve the quality of the job opportunities available to them. |
