Die CEDEFOP/ReferNet Länderberichte geben einen Überblick über die Berufsbildungssysteme in den europäischen Ländern.

Thematic overviews are prepared and updated by ReferNet, Cedefop`s network of nationally- based consortia. They describe the main features of the VET systems in each Member State plus Norway and Iceland using a common structure that allows transversal extractions of information across countries. The database provides information on the following themes: - General policy context - framework for the knowledge society - Policy development - objectives, frameworks, mechanisms, priorities - Institutional framework - provision of learning opportunities - Initial vocational education and training - Continuing vocational education and training for adults - Training VET teachers and trainers - Skills and competence development and innovative pedagogy - Accumulating, transferring and validating learning - Guidance and counselling for learning, career and employment - Financing - investment in human resources - European and international dimensions, towards an open area of lifelong learning
