The European Training Foundation (ETF) has launched a new website ahead of the ‘Changing Skills for a Changing World’ Torino Process conference on 7-8 June. The website allows policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders to easily extract and compare facts, figures and trends on vocational education and training reform in countries bordering Europe, providing them with insights on the state-of-play of VET reform in ETF partner countries.
One feature of the new website is the Report Comparison Tool, which provides a unique snapshot of the state-of-play of VET reform, employment and labour market systems, contributing to the evidence-based policymaking process and future action setting. The Report Hub allows users to browse through the country reports of the 25 participating countries and access summaries and key indicators from the 2016-17 round of the Torino Process. The Blog section features the stories behind the numbers.
‘We wanted to move to a more interactive and personalised use of the reports. Now you can build your own report and explore more than 3000 pages in a customised way,’ explains the ETF’s Torino Process team leader Manuela Prina, describing how the new approach helps to address the challenge of browsing through masses of content.
The ETF works with partner countries to improve VET systems and outcomes. Progress, updates and results are tracked through the Torino Process, which is a participatory, analytical review involving a wide range of stakeholders.
