POLITICAL BACKGROUND
The Copenhaguen process (from 2002) aims to improve the performance, quality, attractiveness and European dimension of VET.
The Education and training 2020 (ET2020) strategic framework promotes mobility, quality, employability and national qualification frameworks linked to EQF in all educational sectors
The European council agreement (January 30th 2012) for increasing the number of apprenticeships
The European commission has committed to set up a European Alliance for Apprenticeships (EafA)

RATIONALE
The value of VET, and notably of dual training systems, in facilitating youth employment is clearly acknowledged.
The supply of apprenticeship and traineeship places in the EU continues to be under-developed, with a great variation among countries.
The lack of workplace experience and the related skills contribute to the "skills gap" in the EU today.
Countries with quality and attractive VET, and especially apprenticeship systems, perform better in youth employment.
