Getting a job: work-based learning makes a difference

Young people with vocational education and training (VET)
qualifications, which include a significant amount of work-based
learning, have higher employment rates compared to those who come from
general education or from fully or mainly school-based VET, Cedefop
Director James Calleja told the European Commission's monitoring
conference in Brussels (11-12 February).
