Finnish vocational education and training is competence-based and learner-oriented. A personal competence development plan is drawn up for each learner. It charts and recognises the skills previously acquired by the learner and outlines any further competences the learner needs and how they can be acquired in different learning environments. Vocational education and training (VET) supports lifelong learning and learners' development as human beings and members of society. It provides learners with knowledge and skills necessary in further studies and promotes employment. Communication and interaction competence, mathematics and science competence and citizenship and working life competence are included in all IVET programmes. In Finland, VET is an attractive choice. The government is currently undertaking vocational education and training (VET) system reform, which aims to renew VET legislation and the financing system, and to promote learning at the workplace. All VET programmes ensure eligibility for higher education studies. National qualification requirements ensure standardised vocational competence and are the basis for evaluating learning outcomes. The Finnish National Agency for Education develops them in broad cooperation with stakeholders (employer organisations, trade and student unions). Representatives from enterprises contribute to development of national qualification requirements; they also organise and plan workplace training and competence tests, as well as assessing the tests.
