Detailed description of project Back

The specific objectives are:
- SO1 – To assess the performance of the intervention of the EVET covering years of 2013-2016 (1st quarter) paying particularly attention to the results of the project against its objectives and taking into consideration the planned mid-term review of the EUVEGE service contract by the ETF;

The EVET programme aims to stimulate sustainable and inclusive social-economic development through improved transition from education to employment. The specific objectives of the programme are:
- To strengthen the institutional and human resource capacities of the national authorities which would enable them to design, coordinate, implement and monitor labour market and skills needs in close partnership with the private sector;
- To enhance the quality and relevance of the VET system in a lifelong learning perspective in order to ensure better synergy between the skills and qualifications offered and the needs of the labour market;
- To increase the attractiveness of the VET system to potential students and employers and to stimulate the engagement of employers in the design and delivery of VET and continuing education.
