ReferNet Lithuania
Since 2002, the Qualifications and Vocational Training Development Centre (KPMPC) has been the national coordinator of the Cedefop ReferNet network in Lithuania.
ReferNet Lithuania provides reliable data on Lithuanian vocational education and training policy, reforms, labor market needs, and changes in the system, thereby contributing to Lithuania's visibility in Europe and close cooperation with Cedefop.
CEDEFOP
The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) is a European agency established in 1975 to promote and improve vocational training in the European Union (EU). It is the EU's main information agency for vocational training issues. Cedefop was one of the first specialized decentralized agencies set up to provide scientific and technical expertise in specific areas and to promote the exchange of ideas between various European partners. The agency was initially based in Berlin, but in 1995 Cedefop's headquarters were moved to Thessaloniki.

Cedefop aims to promote lifelong learning in the European Union. The information provided is intended for policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners in the field of vocational education and training in the European Union and beyond. Cedefop related activities:

National country news
Each year, the national coordinators of the ReferNet network provide the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) with at least three updates on vocational training and adult education in their country. This news is published on Cedefop's information channels and contributes to broader information exchange and policy monitoring at European level.
We invite interested organisations to contribute to the dissemination of Lithuanian vocational training and adult education news! By working together, we can ensure that Lithuania's experiences, achievements and challenges are visible at European level.
