Country reports

Country reports bring up-to-date information on national VET systems. Till 2008 they were known as Thematic overviews. Reports are prepared according to a common structure provided by Cedefop. They were updated on a yearly basis, from 2014 onwards every two years, and are also available from the dedicated Cedefop web page. The most recent edition within a respective period is published in a way which makes it possible to view and compare themes and sub-themes for individual countries. As reports represent the most frequently studied materials, you can also find them at the Cedefop website as well as our home page by clicking on the logo

In 2019, Cedefop launched a VET in Europe database that enables policy makers, social partners, researchers and other stakeholders to compare VET systems in the EU countries, Iceland and Norway. Information is structured by themes and also by types of programmes including qualification levels, share of work-based learning, providers and target groups. Data collection is being supported by the ReferNet network. Information can be downloaded in the pdf format. Updates are foreseen every two years. You we also get into it by clicking on the logo
