This short description contributes to better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Portugal, by providing insight into its distinctive features and highlighting system developments and current challenges. VET in Portugal offers a wide range of programmes, flexible in type and duration. Promoting equal opportunities and supporting the integration of vulnerable groups are main features of the system. Some 40% of learners in secondary education undertake a VET programme. The national qualifications system has reorganised VET into a single system in which programmes lead to a double certification. VET for adults is an integral part of the national qualification system, having education and training programmes for adults and recognition and validation of prior learning as key elements. Responding to the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, Portugal has increased its focus on revitalising adult learning by supporting both the up- and reskilling of adults and the transition towards a digital economy.

A study examined the provision of vocational training (VT) and its relationship to economic development in the region of Portugal encompassing the municipalities of Alcobaca and Caldas da Rainha. Data were obtained from a number of sources: regionally based statistical information, published documents and studies/reports about the region, interviews with representatives of a sample of 15 enterprises participating in VT initiatives, interviews with staff of Portugal's Vocational Training Center for the Ceramics Industry, and a brief study of the Vocational Training Center for the Metalworking Industry. The information was synthesized into a report focusing on the following: the region's economy, labor market, and development; the structure and availability of VT in Alcobaca and Caldas da Rainha; regional demand for VT; coordination between economic agents and bodies offering VT; and the study's contributions to the evaluation of training on a territorial basis. A relative imbalance between enterprises' VT needs and the profile of VT available in the region was discovered. The region's economic agents and bodies offering VT were found to be taking steps toward increasing cooperation with one another and enhancing the region's training capabilities. A framework for evaluating VT in a territorial context was proposed. (Contains 15 references.) (MN)
