Share your insights: participate in the 2025-2026 EAfA Members’ Survey!

The annual survey gives members an opportunity to showcase the progress that they have made in implementing their pledges between September 2025 and August 2026, while helping to shape the Alliance’s future priorities and activities.

Please remember that completing the EAfA Members’ Survey is a requirement for all EAfA members.

Why your participation matters

The survey gives you the opportunity to share your organisation’s achievements, challenges and experience of participating in EAfA. Your feedback will help identify what is working well and where the Alliance’s activities could be strengthened to provide greater value to its members.

It is also an opportunity to showcase at European level how your organisation is contributing to stronger and more inclusive apprenticeship systems. For example, you can highlight initiatives supporting apprenticeships for women and girls in STEM fields, following the June 2025 call by European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu.

Help shape future EAfA cooperation

Your responses will help EAfA identify shared challenges, emerging developments and good practices across Europe.

The findings will inform the Alliance’s work to improve the quality, supply, image and mobility of apprenticeships and support the integration of green and digital skills.

This year, members can also help shape a new Community on VET-Business Partnerships. Through the survey, you can:

  • express your interest in joining or leading the Community;
  • help define its priority topics and activities for the first year; and
  • share your views on potential themes for future Communities.

Building on last year’s survey, members are once again invited to share good practices linked to the Union of Skills, including examples of how apprenticeships are helping people develop future-oriented skills.

EAfA members: check your inbox for your personalised survey link

All EAfA members are invited to complete the survey by Monday, 5 October 2026. The main contact person for each pledge has received a personalised invitation and survey link by email.
