Working time spent on continuing vocational training in enterprises in Europe

The second survey of continuing vocational training (CVTS2) was launched by the European Commission and follows on from the first survey conducted in 1994 of the Member States of the European Union. The second survey was conducted in 2000 and 2001 in all the Member States, Norway and nine candidate countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Pomorskie region of Poland, Romania and Slovenia). This publication provides information on the amount of working time invested by enterprises in their employees’ continuing vocational training (CVT). Hours spent in CVT courses as a proportion of total working hours in all enterprises (course hours per 1000 working hours) is an important indicator in determining the overall effort devoted to CVT in enterprises. Another major indicator is the number of course hours per participant which show the intensity of continuing training. Both these indicators together reflect the willingness of enterprises to devote working time to the CVT of their staff and the opportunities that enterprises had to do so. Survey results revealed that: (1) large enterprises invested considerably more working time in their employees’ CVT than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); (2) an above-average amount of working time was devoted to CVT in the area of ‘financial intermediation’ even in countries with a low level overall; (3) there was no significant difference in the intensity of CVT between men and women; and (4) above-average training intensity in the services sector.

Disparities in access to continuing vocational training in enterprises in Europe

The second survey of continuing vocational training (CVTS2) was launched by the European Commission and follows on from the first survey conducted in 1994 of the Member States of the European Union. The second survey was conducted in 2000 and 2001 in all the Member States, Norway and nine candidate countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Pomorskie region of Poland, Romania and Slovenia). Enterprises participating in the survey provided comparable statistical data on continuing training in the workplace, the supply of, and demand for, vocational knowledge and skills, the need for continuing training and the forms, contents and scope of continuing training, inhouse training resources and the use of external training providers, and the costs of continuing training. This publication provides key information on access to CVT. Access is analysed in terms of participation rates in CVT courses in each country according to gender, size of enterprise and sector of economic activity. The data for Greece, France, Italy and the UK were not available at the time of publication. The survey results revealed: (a) a very pronounced difference in participation rates between the Nordic countries and some southern and eastern European countries; (b) small disparities in participation rates by gender in most countries; (c) more opportunities for men and women to participate when employed by large enterprises; and (d) that specific economic sector effect explained differences in participation rather than any gender effect.

This publication provides key information on providers and fields of CVT in 21 European countries. The data for Greece, France, Italy and the UK were not available at the time of publication. Survey results indicated that private training providers were responsible for the highest proportion of CVT course hours in most countries although specialised training institutions were more prominent in candidate countries. CVT in the fields of engineering and manufacturing and computer science/computer use were most important in enterprises.

The second survey of continuing vocational training (CVTS2) was launched by the European Commission and follows on from the first survey conducted in 1994 of the Member States of the European Union. The second survey was conducted in 2000 and 2001 in all the Member States, Norway and nine candidate countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Pomorskie region of Poland, Romania and Slovenia). Enterprises participating in the survey provided comparable statistical data on the forms, content and extent of continuing vocational training at work, the supply of, and demand for, vocational knowledge and skills, inhouse training resources and the use of external training providers, and key data for analysing the costs of continuing training. The funding structure of CVT courses provides key evidence of enterprise commitment to investment in the continuing training of their staff as well as the significance of CVT measures on the demand side of the labour market. This publication presents survey outcomes on the costs and funding of CVT courses in 21 European countries. The data for Greece, France, Italy and the UK were not available at the time of publication. The survey results revealed: (a) highest expenditure per staff member on CVT in large enterprises and in the ‘financial intermediation’ sector; (b) European enterprises invested between 0.5% and 3.0% of labour costs on CVT; (c) payments to external training providers made up the largest share of the direct costs of CVT courses; and (d) little promotion of CVT courses in enterprises through public training funds or subsidies.

The second survey of continuing vocational training (CVTS2) was launched by the European Commission and follows on from the first survey conducted in 1994 of the Member States of the European Union. The second survey was conducted in 2000 and 2001 in all the Member States, Norway and nine candidate countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Pomorskie region of Poland, Romania and Slovenia). This publication gives some initial key information on continuing in-service training in the nine candidate countries for the European Union (EU). A total of 26000 enterprises participated in the survey and provided comparable statistical data on the forms, content and extent of continuing vocational training at work, the supply of, and demand for, vocational knowledge and skills, inhouse training resources and the use of external training providers, and key data for analysing the costs of continuing training. The survey results revealed: (a) that CVT is of high importance among enterprises in these countries; (b) that even small enterprises had a strong tendency to offer external CVT courses; (c) the Czech Republic and Slovenia had the highest participation rate for CVT courses; (d) Romania has the highest number of course hours per participant; (e) 0.5% to 1.9% of labour costs were invested in CVT; (f) that staff skill needs matched those of enterprises that do not provide CVT. Results for the Member States of the EU and Norway are indexed at TD/TNC 71.579.
