Inclusive skills for all: EASPD’s Contribution to the European Vocational Education and Training Strategy
Vocational education and training (VET) systems remain insufficiently inclusive by design, often presenting fragmented pathways and offering limited opportunities for the recognition of skills acquired outside formal education. Launched in March 2025, The Union of Skills Strategy can be leveraged to improve access to inclusive, high-quality education and training throughout the lives of people with disabilities and to improve the quality of employment in the care and support sector, thus helping to face the staff shortages the sector faces.
Developed with the input of our members, this document presents EASPD's contribution to the development of the European Vocational Education and Training Strategy.
