The second ETF statistical publication for the NIS and Mongolia. It provides an expert evaluation of 1995-1999 statistical data on Vocational Education and Training and a brief transnational analytical review of the data collected by the National Observatories.

This report is the first comparative analysis (after 1990) of VET developments in the New Independent States and Mongolia undertaken by the ETF.

Report explaining the concept of lifelong learning to experts from the education, training and labour market sectors in the new independent states and Mongolia, and detailing the current state of play and relevance of this topic in these countries.

ETF's report on "Core and entrepreneurial skills in vocational education and training" follows the implementation of a number of projects on standards development in the New Independent States, and in particular in Kazakhstan. Local experts, who investigated the needs of employers, highlighted that the availability of core and entrepreneurial skills, in additional to the "technical" ones, is a critical issue. This publication, produced at the request of partner countries' experts, intends to clarify the development and use of core and entrepreneurial skills. The report also shows how these skills were concretely developed in Kazakhstan, in consultation with employers. It therefore tries to make a bridge between the concepts, theories and practical steps which VET practitioners can take to help young people develop skills that are of immediate use to employers in transition economies.

Raising the interest of employers and employers organisations in human resource development, training and vocational education.
