Torino Process 2016-17: Eastern Partnership and Russia

All the ETF's partner countries from Eastern Europe - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine, as well as Russia, took part in the 2016-17 Torino Process. The Torino Process has a high degree of ownership in Eastern Europe where the main approach is self-assessment. For policy makers, VET has a growing popularity that is supported by a range of documented policy statements, legislation, or structured policy processes, which include short and long-term strategies. International and EU perspectives are a source of policy reference for many of the countries.

This report takes a cross-country perspective towards VET developments in Eastern Europe, aiming to identify the main issues, constraints and priorities for the further modernisation of VET policies and systems in the region. It has been developed from an analysis of the national 2016-17 Torino Process reports and the outcomes of discussions during the Torino Process Regional Forum organised in Tbilisi, Georgia, on 8-9 November 2016 under Platform IV of the Eastern Partnership.
