Abstract

Although the Italian continuing vocational training system has become more and more crucial in the socioeconomic development of Italy, it features a number of limitations and criticalities that still hamper its massive and widespread use. The paper intends to provide a transversal analysis of the CVET system with a view to identifying a core of key issues that currently significantly limit access to training by a large share of potential users. For each topic dealt with, alongside an examination of the essential scenario data, a number of in-depth observations are proposed, some of which intersect with the international debate on the various topics addressed.
