The content of this paper is the sole responsibility of the ETF and does not necessarily reflect the views of the EU institutions. [...] These include the functioning of the tripartite Council and the extension of the mandate of the Agency for VET and Adult Education. [...] The Sector Strategy of the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare 2018-2022 (Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, 2017a) and the Action Plan: Increasing Youth Employment 2018-2020 (Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare, 2017b) cover elements of initial and continuing VET for young people and adults.
