The ultimate goal of “EQAVET NRP 2019-2021” is to establish a permanent mechanism for IVET graduate’s tracking in the labour market.

Concluding the meeting, EOPPEP CEO made the following statement: “In an global context where, on one hand, the mismatch between skills offer and demand in the labour market has led to a dramatic increase of youth unemployment rate, on the other hand, skills development, via the process of upskilling and reskilling, has become the spearhead of education and employment policies, we must endorse and fully support such activities.”
