Study scope VET graduate tracking measures • Tools which collect information for analysis of graduates’ educational achievements on completion of VET, their further education and higher achievements, and their employment. VET • IVET • Lower secondary VET • Upper secondary VET • Post-secondary non-tertiary VET (up to ISCED 2011 level 4) • CVET EU 28 • Belgium: Flanders and Wallonia (+Brussels) • Germany: two Lander (Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg) • Spain: two Autonomous Communities (Catalonia, Basque Country) • Italy: focus on national level • UK: England and Scotland.

WHAT CAN THE EU DO TO PROMOTE VET GRADUATE TRACKING? Options to be considered Develop a new EU VET graduate tracking measure? Streamline an existing survey to enable VET graduate tracking? Provide support or incentives to the creation or development of measures at national, regional or provider level?

WHAT CAN THE EU DO TO PROMOTE VET GRADUATE TRACKING? Stakeholders consultation Would you agree to participate in the consultation?  What we will consult:  Option A. Developing a new EU VET graduate tracking measure  Option B. Streamlining an existing survey to enable VET graduate tracking  Option C. Provide support or incentives to the creation or development of measures at national, regional or provider level e.g. – Peer learning activities, – Exchange of good practices, – Support to experts’ networks (statisticians, researchers) – Technical support to national teams (e.g. to pilots to develop national level tracking measures)  Approach for consultation:  Three iterations of a short online survey  Stakeholders asked for feedback on the feasibility and likely impact of the options proposed: benefits, costs, unintended consequences, feasibility (financial, technical, administrative, political) Icon by Freepik at www.flaticon.com Mapping of VET graduate tracking measures EU-28 6/11/2017 15 ICF proprietary and confidential.
