Pilot Business Forum

The aim of this Business Forum is to gather as many stakeholders as possible operating in the field of CVET so as to urge them to interact and engage in a concrete dialogue with the relevant authorities in charge of CVET regarding reform policies or upcoming initiatives, in addition to providing the participants with incentives to follow and/or invest in CVET programmes in their own countries.

The objective is to establish partnerships between the relevant stakeholders (e.g. education, employment and economic authorities, social partners, businesses, sectoral industry organisations, public employment services, private training providers, formal VET and adult education providers); to integrate national approaches; to gather feedback on designing future active labour market policies and to promote work-based learning.

The creation of an annual event will foster the alignment of incentives for employers to offer training, planning public funding for training programmes with a stronger link between programmes targeting companies and those targeting the unemployed and the low skilled, as well as enhancing the labour market relevance of the current training offers.
