The period 2010-13 is likely to see a series of national initiatives for education and training reform. ETF actions in Azerbaijan will continue to be linked to the EU external policies. The ETF will provide its support to EC services in Azerbaijan in complementarity with the ongoing Tacis VET project; in particular the ETF will provide support related to the European context for the development of a national concept for a qualifications frameworks. The ETF will pursue its on-going dialogue with the EU Delegation and national stakeholders to identify the relevant inputs required to complement the support provided by the EU project.

The ETF will also continue to provide support to the reform of VET and employment policies through further analysis and awareness raising activities, namely
(i) the Torino process aimed at collecting and disseminating information related to progress in VET
(ii) the business education survey aimed at collecting information on relationships between the world of work and the world of education,
(iii) the Black Sea Employment Review completion focusing on analysing specific labour markets issues in a comparative perspective.

The inputs in analysis will be complemented by a number of awareness raising and information/experience sharing activities for key policy makers.
