Contribution

The papers draws on the conclusions of the desk study planned in the first stage of the project, describing contextual supports and challenges for our approach, relying in the situation of the vocational preparation organised and embedded in the VET and employment systems. It stresses on the importance of the financing aspects, because the way in which the vocational preparation measures are financed acts as a strong regulator of the system, stating abundance or scarce of training and career development opportunities, often shaping content and drivers and imposing selection and evaluation criteria. Romania’s case may be illustrative for how this leverage of the public policies targets correctly or not the ones that need mostly the public support: when the general unemployment rate is low (5,2) and the youth unemployment rate is huge (25,7), this leverage is not properly used.
