Quality of apprenticeships in the EU

During the webinar, Cedefop will present key findings from its cross-country analysis of quality elements in EU apprenticeship schemes, in relation to selected criteria of the European Framework for Quality and Effective Apprenticeships. Country examples will provide further insights on the way European countries have introduced quality elements at the framework/design or the implementation level of apprenticeships. During the panel discussion, European and national stakeholders will examine persisting gaps and challenges, together with areas of strength for apprenticeship quality. Participants will exchange views on possible ways forward to make apprenticeship programmes more relevant, attractive and effective in delivering the skills and qualifications required by fast-changing labour markets.

The event is part of the European Skills and VET Week, an initiative from the European Commission, organised by Cedefop. Since 2016, the Week provides policy makers, stakeholders and social partners with a platform to share insights, showcase best practices, and help drive strategies for upskilling and reskilling the European workforce.
