Spotlight on VET: Italy

In recent years, several reforms have been carried out to make vocational education and training (VET) more flexible and respond better to labour market needs. VET in Italy is characterised by multilevel governance with broad involvement of national, regional and local stakeholders. Ministries of Labour and Education define the general framework and policies. Regions and autonomous provinces are in charge of providing several vocational programmes and most apprenticeship-type schemes.
