1. Training strategies, employment and the private sector Manfred Wallenborn Bergamo, December 2010

2. Problems: Challenges of the future require new skills all educational sub systems are affected what’s about VET driven human capital development?

3. Publicly driven VET has structural limits private sector has better learning environments and mobilizes additional funds for training

4. Training in enterprises pays off to avoid employment problems it should follow approved training regulations complexity requires stakeholder involvement in VET

5. Partner countries: VET reforms still required typical bottlenecks: resources, teaching and managing staff, school based curricula more piloting of cooperation in VET rather than systematically implemented

6. Comprehensive approach for reforms : builds on partner countries ownership uses information from strategic national groups involves systematically national stakeholders

7. Avoid risks for human capital development and employment no narrow competence profiles modest salaries and long working hours dead ends without educational perspectives

8. Transition countries skills second biggest obstacle for enterprise development and more employment Comprehensive approaches: informal sector is different from high tech skills Look at VET reform in comprehensive approaches (good practice Korea)

9. Next operational steps: encourage stakeholders, social partners promote national and regional VET councils set up sector committees on different levels

10. Avoid misunderstandings: publicly regulated VET must not be executed by public VET schools Private sector a source of valid information rather than an obstacle to avoid unemployment
