Helping to make vocational education and training (VET) fit for future challenges while meeting those of today: this principle best encapsulates Cedefop's work and achievements in 2018. Policy discourse throughout the year reflected the growing recognition that devising employment, social and education and training policies in different silos is no longer an option. Neither is striving for excellence, innovation, and competitiveness at the expense of inclusion. It takes concerted and forward-looking approaches to tackle the multiple challenges and their complexity to the benefit of Europe's economy and social fabric. Throughout the year, Cedefop collaborated with its sister agencies, Eurofound and the ETF, to share and pool expertise to the benefit of their stakeholders, notably in the work on skills, qualification frameworks, and policy monitoring. Joint events and publications highlighted throughout this report bear witness to this collaboration. In a similar vein, the joint Cedefop-European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) policy-learning forum called for coordinated approaches and collaboration among governments, social partners, and civil society organisations to devise effective pathways for low-skilled adults to upgrade their qualifications. The end of the year was marked by two important developments that will guide Cedefop's work in 2019 and the years to come: (1) the vision for VET 2030 agreed by the Commission's Advisory Committee on Vocational Training, to which Cedefop contributed, which will inform the Commission's work on future cooperation in VET; and (2) the adoption of Cedefop's new regulation to replace the one dating from 1975 when the Agency was established.
