Training Voucher System
• Delegation of delivery of training to over
600 ‘operators’ close to the citizens
(freedom of choice)

Conclusions
• Strength: the new, citizen-centred
regional voucher system has made
training more accessible
• Challenge: trade unions have other
priorities than VET
• Challenge: SME engagement in VET is
often weak; training is perceived as cost
• Challenge:need for more tailor-made
VET offers for micro-enterprises
