The transition of young people towards employment, the matching between supply and demand of labour, and the potentially applicable role of vocational training systems are key issues for our Country. Defining a focused strategy, one that is oriented to a stronger integration between the training sector and the labour market, might be crucial in order to manage the post-pandemic period and the economic consequences related to it.
