Eurostat estimates that 17.466 million men and women in the EU27, of which 12.180 million were in the euro area, were unemployed in November 2008. Compared with October 2008, the number of persons unemployed increased by 274 000 in the EU27 and by 202 000 in the euro area. Compared with November 2007, unemployment went up by 1 134 000 in the EU27 and by 1 059 000 in the euro area. Over the three months covered by the latest TUIK workforce survey, December through February, the jobless queues were swelled by another 59,000 jobseekers, bringing to 2,567,000 the number of persons unemployed in Turkey.
An efficient vocational and technical education system can play an important role in raising quality of work, enhancing productivity and tackling the mismatching problem. In order to increase employment rates and competitiveness in the knowledge based economy, education and training systems should be more consistent with employment policies.
Close relationship between vocational education and industry is a basic requirement for innovation and increased competitiveness.
Investment to VET and revising key vet strategies and exploring and improving the imperfect parts in national Vocational education approaches through comparing key strategies would be an urgent aid pack to recover from crisis. In this project we will analyze and evaluate how national vocational training strategies are determined and how vocational training is adapted to use of new technologies in accordance to needs and development of labour market. We will accomplish the preliminary works to fulfill transfer the good practices and policies among partner countries reciprocally as follows:
- Investigate and exploit of best practices in VET key strategies National, regional and sectoral levels by means of two reports
- Prepare a VET Network to share and discuss the problems and solutions; such as projects in European level and produce new VET strategies
- And disseminate the all these project's experience via a conference.
Thanks to this project, policy makers, practitioners and Vet teachers and experts will meet in a platform in the web site and see their expectations and revise their VET agenda again in Europe.
