		Vassiliou: Combating youth unemployment a top priority EU Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth, Androulla Vassiliou, who will attend Cedefop's conference on tackling skill mismatch through work-based learning and apprenticeships (12-13 June 2013, Thessaloniki, Greece), talks about the latest European initiatives to alleviate youth unemployment and refocus education and training.

	News from Cedefop     Skills and people A group of young people and education experts from Greece and Cyprus came to Cedefop's premises on Europe Day (9 May) to celebrate the European project and discuss its future. Some of them talked to us about the school of tomorrow and the challenge of matching skills acquired in education with labour-market needs.     New publication: On the way to 2020: data for vocational education and training policies - Indicator overviews This report complements a recent Cedefop publication "On the way to 2020: Data for vocational education and training policies - Country statistical overviews" (Cedefop, 2013), which has made use of the same data but has organised them in a different way. While the previous report offered a set of country snapshots, this publication offers a set of indicator snapshots. It is a result of continuing efforts to review and improve indicators as new and better data become available.     New briefing note: Skills for a low-carbon Europe The European Union's employment package, launched in 2012, sees transition to a greener economy as the area offering the greatest job potential. But there are also concerns that costs of combatting climate change and Europe's transition to a low-carbon economy will in fact reduce job growth. A new Cedefop study, Skills for a low-carbon Europe, explored these scenarios and shows that a sustainable and energy-efficient economy can be achieved at the same time as employment growth.     New publication: Empowering vulnerable adults to tackle labour market challenges Some 25 study visits held between 2010 and 2012 focused on helping vulnerable adults tackle the labour market. They discussed, among other things, how to access guidance services; how to make full use of knowledge, skills and competences, and how to get them recognised; how to participate in training, and how to find rewarding employment. This publication collects findings from these study visits, and features 29 successful initiatives from all over Europe.     Working with us   The role of VET in reducing early leaving from education and training AO/ECVL/IPS-ARANI/EarlyLeaving/005/13   Deadline:04/06/2013     Supporting continuing professional development of trainers in enterprises AO/ECVL/IJE/In-company trainers professional development/006/13   Deadline:08/07/2013     Stay connected to Cedefop via Social Media     News from the Member States Items submitted by ReferNet, Cedefop's European network for VET		EU Policy   Opinion of the Committee of the Regions on 'Rethinking Education'     Youth social exclusion and lessons from youth work - EACEA report     Council conclusions on maximising the potential of youth policy in addressing the goals of the Europe 2020 Strategy     Members of the European and Lithuanian parliaments: Lithuania must promote employment and vocational training in the context of the EU     Agenda   Conference - Advice on apprenticeship and traineeship schemes with ESF support   05/06/2013 to 06/06/2013     Brussels, Belgium     Conference - Renewing vocational education and training to tackle skill mismatch: work-based learning and apprenticeship for all?   12/06/2013 to 13/06/2013     Thessaloniki, Greece     Formal meeting of the education committee   13/06/2013 to 14/06/2013     Dublin, Ireland     Education at a glance   25/06/2013 to 25/06/2013     Brussels, Belgium     Building an inclusive Europe through supported employment   28/06/2013 to 13/07/2013     Dublin, Ireland     Cedefop-ETF-ILO expert seminar on skills anticipation guides   04/07/2013 to 05/07/2013     Cedefop, Thessaloniki, Greece
