Exposure of VET graduates to work-based learning

The indicator measures the share of recent graduates from VET (vocational education and training) benefitting from exposure to work-based learning during their vocational education and training. The indicator is defined as follows. (1) The denominator covers people aged 20-34 with an upper secondary or post-secondary non-tertiary educational attainment of vocational orientation who had successfully completed their highest level of education in the last three years. (2) The numerator covers those of the denominator who indicated a work experience while studying of at least one month. “Work experience while studying” refers to work experiences at a workplace e.g. in a company, government institution or non-profit organisation that were part of the curriculum of the formal programme that led to the highest level of education successfully completed. Purely school-based work experiences are not considered. The indicator is based on the EU Labour Force Survey.
