ABSTRACT
This document describes the proposed 2003 activities of the
European Training Foundation (ETF) to support vocational education and
training reform in non-European Union (EU) countries in the context of the
EU's external relations program. The activities listed cover these four main
groups of countries across three continents: the Mediterranean partners; the
countries of the Western Balkans; the New Independent States and Mongolia,
and the future member states of the European Union. Activities appear under
the following major headings:
(1) support to EU programs and dissemination of
(2) provision and analysis of information and data in support of
EU policies;
the Commission and partner countries; and (3) development activities.
(With
the expertise and assistance of the ETF, each of the partner countries must
address critical issues of quality and the transfer of qualifications and
skills between sectors and countries as a precondition for lifelong learning
and increased mobility. Because of the differences between the four groups of
countries, the ETF does not offer standard products or services, but provides
a "tailor-made" approach to each region and partner country.) The document
also includes information about the Tempus program, activity-based budgeting,
and an annex describing joint work between the ETF and the European Centre
for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP), with special reference
to candidate countries.
