The labour market and the VET system are characterised by a series of contrary developments. This article focuses on the most important factors in this regard. Following a summary of the main challenges and of current trends, it outlines developments on the labour market and training market and presents the ensuing changes for companies. The authors believe that two possible solutions are improved vocational orientation which supports more young people along the route into vocational education and training and reforms to initial VET which can help increase the speed of adjustment.
