Vocational education and training statistics

Some more statistics on vocational education and training, this time from the webpage of Eurostat:

This article presents statistics on vocational training in the European Union (EU) and forms part of an online publication on education and training in the EU. The article provides a comprehensive picture of vocational education and training in the EU, including both, vocational education of younger students in schools, as well as vocational training of adults in enterprises. The article focuses first on vocational education within the school system, in other words generally part of initial education. Students may undertake vocational education as part of secondary or tertiary education and before they fully enter the labour market.

The second part looks at vocational training within enterprises, briefly presenting initial vocational training (IVT) within enterprises and closing with more detailed information relating to continuing vocational training (CVT) within enterprises. Only enterprises from the business economy are included in the analysis here and this includes almost all economic activities apart from agriculture, forestry and fishing, public administration and defence, compulsory social security, education, human health and social work activities.
