This study examines the way in which institutional arrangements for the delivery of IVET have changed in response to shifts in skills demand.

Although these arrangements vary across countries, it is possible to identify common trends over time, such as institutional hybridisation, the blurring of boundaries between IVET and general education. Despite this development, IVET has been able to retain a distinct identity, which is attractive to learners and has the support of key labour market actors. This reflects IVET’s adaptability and resilience in the face of change.

Building on a Europe-wide survey of VET providers and in-depth national case studies, the study delivers a timely update of, and insight into, the continually changing IVET landscape. Results show increasing similarities in how countries configure their IVET systems. This is evident in the broadening of IVET curricula, the prominence given to the work-based learning pathway, as well as the growing importance attached to local and regional autonomy.

The global financial crisis from 2008 affected the Romanian economy and led to severe austerity measures being launched by the government in 2010. Romania then began a relatively slow but steady economic recovery. In 2015 Romania recorded the highest investment rate in the EU with 24.7 percent of GDP and real GDP growth in 2016 was 4.9 percent. Despite the economic growth and agreements with the EU to support this trend further, Romania continues to have at‐risk‐of‐poverty and social exclusion rates that are among the highest in the EU, recording in 2015 a rate of 37 percent compared to an EU average of 23.5 percent. Of particular concern for a continued economic growth are the aging of the population, the low participation of the Roma population in the labor market and the high emigration rate, especially among youth. To combat poverty and support economic growth, the design and implementation of policies to improve the quality of the workforce is essential.

Liderii din sectorul public şi din cel privat susţin puternic dezvoltarea
forței de muncă (DFM), dar, în anumite privințe, susţinerea este
fragmentată. În ciuda eforturilor semnificative de a identifica nevoia
de competenţe în sectoarele economice prioritare, implicarea
angajatorilor în stabilirea priorităţilor de DFM şi de creştere a nivelului
de calificare a forţei de muncă existente este destul de redusă.
Mandatele părţilor implicate în DFM sunt bine definite, dar continuă
să existe provocări legate de coordonare.
