Francois DECOSTER on mobility of vocational education and training

While mobility in higher education, through initiatives such as the Erasmus programme, is considered one of the European Union’s greatest success stories, there are still too many barriers hindering the proper mobility of persons in VET and apprentices.
As a way of circumventing some of the legal, linguistic, administrative and even socio-psychological hurdles, Francois Decoster (Vice-President of the Hauts-de-France Region in France) suggests the creation of macro-regional mobility clusters for vocational education and training (VET) as well as apprentices across Europe.
