Vocational education and training - VET

Offering NEETs a way to boost their professional prospect, find the training that suits them and land a job: that’s the objective of the ‘Coup de Boost’ project successfully developed in the Charleroi and Mons area since 2016.

 This report presents the key findings and suggestions for action to develop apprenticeship training at upper secondary in the medium and long term. The underlying analysis largely relies on information collected from different categories of stakeholder at different levels, and in-depth discussions with a national panel of experts. The report presents suggestions for action organised under mid- and long-term scenarios. These include developing a comprehensive vision and a clearer identity of the scheme within the education and training system, by working on an umbrella legislative framework; and a short-term scenario, to improve the existing apprenticeship scheme, mostly by improving certificate transparency and by working on cooperation among training providers and between the latter and companies.
