Highlights the fact that vocational education and training (VET) and VET mobility play a vital economic and social role in Europe as a mechanism leading to equal opportunities for all citizens, including those from socially disadvantaged groups, unemployed young people, migrants and women, who are all under-represented in VET and those particularly affected by the economic crisis; calls on the Commission and the Member States to position VET as a choice which leads to a promising career, make it accessible to all, ensure gender balance and non- discrimination, and guarantee that it is adequately funded;

3. Calls on the Commission to work with the Members States on stronger cooperation between education establishments and key stakeholders (businesses, VET facilities, research organisations, social partners, chambers of commerce and industry, the equivalent professional bodies for craft trades and farmers, local/regional authorities and the youth sector) in order to enhance the responsiveness of the education and VET systems to labour market needs, and to guarantee that this cooperation is reflected in Erasmus+; believes that active involvement of beneficiaries in the design and implementation of the programme increases its success and added value;

Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that, despite clear improvements in recognition and validation systems in education and VET, problems still persist; calls for specific targets such as the implementation of a fully operational credit transfer system and recognition, and for validation of competences acquired through non-formal and informal learning.; points out that, at present, only 1% of young people in work- related training schemes, including apprentices, are involved in mobility schemes during their training; points out that it is essential to create the conditions for greater apprentice mobility within the EU, so as to give apprentices the same opportunities as higher education students and thus meet the objectives of the fight against unemployment, particularly youth unemployment;
