"Vocational education and training measures are absolutely essential for turning the European economy into a knowledge economy, in line with the Europe 2020 strategy objectives. This is why I fully support the recommendations made by this report, which highlight the importance of investment in vocational education and training for the European economy’s future competitiveness. We need effective measures, complementing each other at national and European level, in order to achieve our objectives. There has been an alarming rise in the youth unemployment rate in the EU. This report sends out a clear message: vocational education and training are key factors in tackling youth unemployment. Clear strategies are needed to facilitate their inclusion in the labour market, which will encourage the correlation between education programmes and the demands of the labour market, so that it can take up the graduates. The required approach must put the emphasis on specific skills so as to facilitate integration into the labour market. Furthermore, due to the constant technological changes, employers have ever-increasing expectations with regard to employees’ qualifications. This is why ongoing training plays a key role in constantly adapting vocational qualifications to the demands of the economy. This can help people avoid being excluded from the labour market at some time during their career."@en1
