Study objectives

• Specific objective 1: Carry out a mapping of VET graduate tracking

instruments used at system level (with illustrative examples at provider level)

• Specific objective 2: Analysis of graduate VET tracking measures and

development of their typology

• Specific objective 3: Identification of strengths and weaknesses of these

measures and recommendations for issues to be improved at Member State and EU levels

• Specific objective 4: Review of options for EU activities in this field to improve

data collection systems both at national and EU level

• Tools which collect information for analysis of graduates’ educational achievements on completion of

VET, their further education and higher achievements, and their employment. VET graduate tracking measures

• IVET
• Lower secondary VET
• Upper secondary VET
• Post-secondary non-tertiary VET (up to ISCED 2011 level 4)
• CVET

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)
