It examines the first 3 years of the programme to discover if the funds are being distributed homogeneously throughout the regions of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. If it turns out that funds are being unevenly delivered this could result in an inequity situation: students living in specific regions might have greater chances to benefit from KA102 funds, while other students might have fewer opportunities to benefit from these funds. The book looks in detail at the implementation and performance of the various programmes within Erasmus+, the funds and distribution of these funds, and the number of students in the programmes. The book studies these five countries because they contain more than half of all the vocational education and training students in the European Union. Also, these countries had the most students participating in mobilities during the previous Leonardo da Vinci programme. Hence, it is to be expected that the conclusions drawn in this study are representative of the situation of VET mobilities and Erasmus+ funding in Europe. Erasmus+ is the European programme in charge of fostering the development of transnational programmes in the areas of education, training, sports and youth policies. It is focused on the adaptation to a fast changing world, tackling youth unemployment, and preparing workers for highly skilled jobs. Erasmus+ integrates former programmes such as the Lifelong Learning Programme, Youth in Action, and the various international Higher Education and Sports programmes. It started in 2014 and will be active until 2020.

Book excerpt: The value of VET mobility to address issues of quality and global competitiveness of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe, its attractiveness to learners, as well as the employability of VET learners, has been acknowledged for more than two decades at both EU policy and programme levels. At policy level, while Member States retain the primary responsibility for the organisation of VET, their work is supported and complemented through EU-level policies and frameworks which include the promotion of mobility of VET staff and learners (Treaty, Art. 166). Mobility in education and the labour market is notably one of the key values of Europe, as the Rome Declaration of 25 March 2017 reaffirms. The current framework for policy action and policy debate on VET mobility in Europe is underpinned by various strategic EU policy documents among which the 2010 Bruges Communiqué that emphasised the need for national VET systems to attract learners from across Europe and the world in order to remain up-to-date and competitive or subsequent 2015 Riga Conclusions that set new medium-term deliverables for the period 2015-2020. At programme level, mobility in VET was first supported at EU level through the Joint Programme (1964-1991) that aimed to foster the exchange of young workers. This was followed by the implementation of PETRA II programme. In more recent years, the Lifelong Learning Programme (and Leonardo da Vinci VET sub-programme) and ongoing Erasmus+ have supported VET mobility through various actions and related funding opportunities. In parallel to EU actions, a number of initiatives have been taken by countries, regions or organisations. However, those have not been the object of evidence-based research in most cases. This study was therefore commissioned by DG EMPL to gain insights on non-Erasmus+ VET mobility programmes/schemes within the 33 Erasmus+ programme countries4. More specifically the study aims to offer an overview of their key features and perceived impacts at beneficiary level (i.e. learners, staff, organisations and beyond) as well as to identify key commonalities and differentiators with Erasmus+ VET mobility actions. The study has also been carried out at a time when the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) and the next generations of EU programmes (including Erasmus+) for 2021-2027 were being negotiated. In this context, the methodology followed has also been designed to offer recommendations on how the quality and effectiveness of VET mobility across Europe could be improved, in this remit, through possible areas for action at EU and country level.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1998, Education and training in the European Union is a policy area aiming to enable young people to experience the ‘reality of Europe’ through various forms of cooperation, including training periods in firms in other member states, university courses in the Community countries and exchanges. This book examines why the Community decided to take actions in the field of education and training, what the extent of this involvement is, and how the future may affect EU decisions on education and training. It argues that the logic of the EU involvement in education and training derives from both economic and political considerations; that the extent of this involvement has not so far been very significant but is growing; and that the pace of political integration will ultimately condition the Community’s competence in the field of education and training.

Book excerpt: In 2018 the European Commission launched a flagship initiative for Vocational Education and Training (VET), a policy area in which the European Union (EU) has intervened since the Treaty of Rome. Labelled Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs), the objective is to support pioneers of high quality, innovative and demand led VET through partnerships of employers, education providers and other stakeholders. The impact of such centres, especially at the local and regional level, will be enhanced if their activities are in line with innovation and economic development strategies. Within the EU such strategies are increasingly following the smart specialisation approach, which focuses public investment on selected innovation priorities. There are many existing partnerships in Europe that can be described as CoVEs, both informal and those classified as such by national or regional governments. EU funding from the Erasmus programme will support European wide platforms of CoVEs to develop common activities and facilitate transnational learning. A first round of pilot CoVEs were launched in 2019 and seven more were selected in July 2020, to be funded by the Erasmus+ programme. The next generation of Erasmus starting in 2021 has a draft budget allocation of €200 million. Furthermore, the European Structural and Investment Funds could be mobilised to support CoVEs (both those financed by Erasmus and others), including the European Regional Development Fund which for the first time will finance investments in human capital. Transnational learning and "levelling up" between countries would be maximised if the individual CoVEs could rely on European level support services. Such policy support is common for EU policies that engage with institutions and citizens, and appears to be particularly crucial for the CoVE initiative which targets relatively less developed and connected stakeholders. This scoping report aims to provide an overview of what services could be provided. It is based on the results of a join DG Employment - JRC workshop on VET and Smart Specialisation, as well as follow up interviews with stakeholders. In addition, similar support policy support facilities were analysed, especially the experience of the JRC in managing the S3 Platform, which provides advice to national and regional authorities on Smart Specialisation Strategies. Following a discussion of the policy context, including a competence-based approach to strengthening VET and the demand led nature of Smart Specialisation, specific proposals for services are analysed and their potential resource intensity is estimated. They are structured around three groups of activities, indicated by DG Employment as potential support 'hubs', namely (i) Knowledge-sharing, (ii) Networking and Collaboration, and (iii) Information and Support. These activities are also mapped according to other typologies, namely the level of customisation and their target users (individuals, institutions or the skills/innovation system as a whole). This helps to appropriately design the future support services. It is also proposed that the services be guided by certain principles, namely that they should be relevant, coherent, effective and efficient, innovative and digital, as well as (crucially) empowering.
