European Training Foundation’s 2024 Work Programme approved – EU NEIGHBOURS east

The European Training Foundation (ETF) Work Programme for 2024

The European Training Foundation (ETF) has received approval for its work programme for 2024. The Governing Board that gave the go-ahead for the strategic plan included representatives of EU Member States, the European Commission, and observers from the European Parliament.

Prioritizing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

  1. The ETF’s 2024 work programme prioritizes partner countries, with a dedicated focus on Ukraine, candidate countries including Georgia and Moldova, and those with EU bilateral association agreements.
  2. The plan urgently promotes digitalization and innovation in education, supporting the development of green skills, and ensuring gender equality and social inclusion.

Key Objectives

  • Expand skills intelligence tools
  • Advise on active labor market policies
  • Modernize qualification systems
  • Promote vocational excellence

The ETF’s work programme also emphasizes the need to modernize qualification systems, promote vocational excellence, and expand skills intelligence tools. These objectives align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.

Extra-Budgetary Projects

The ETF will be actively engaged in a range of further extra-budgetary projects, including an education programme tailored for the Eastern Partnership region. This program aims to address specific regional needs and promote education and skills development on a broader scale.

“Next year, when we will also celebrate our 30th anniversary and build on the experience gained during the period, we will continue to offer quality monitoring and analysis on education and training systems, skills foresight, and policy advice to maximize the reach and impact of the expertise of the ETF. The work in partnerships and recognition of the increased fragility in the geopolitical landscape is a crucial part of our approach,” said ETF Director, Pilvi Torsti.
