Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Access to training

Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

The publication provides an overview of the JAMBA programme in Germany that aims at occupational integration of young mothers. The education and training market lacks opportunities for young women who do not stick to the socially prescribed route of school, training, and children. Even with high motivation and suitable schooling conditions, young mothers have barriers in their search for vocational training places due to their responsibilities in bringing up their children. On the other hand, poor education results in lack of life opportunities and participation in society. The JAMBA programme seeks to address this issue. Young mothers are encouraged and supported to take an in-company training course and companies are encouraged to take them as trainees.
