These themes, by their specific characteristics, complement the general information provided in the documents ‘VET in Europe’ and ‘Spotlight on VET’.
The structure of each article or survey is elaborated according to a common template prepared by Cedefop for all ReferNet partners. This information enables Cedefop to make comparisons across countries.
Some examples of these themes are international mobility in the initial VET; NEETs and very long-term unemployed; integration of refugees; key competences in initial VET.
