This report assesses the current situation regarding vocational training in Central and Eastern Europe and suggests projects and working methods that would be consistent with the mission of the Commission of the European Communities' European Training Foundation. Sections 1 through 4 focus on the following: the existing system's inability to train individuals to become instruments of political, economic, and social change and for training workers and to cope with unemployment and economic upheaval resulting from political reform; the necessity of international aid to reform vocational training in Central and Eastern Europe; key issues in global action to define strategies and build a new system in Central and Eastern Europe; and principles and themes that Western countries must observe when sharing their training expertise with Central and Eastern Europe. Chapter 5, which deals with the mission, working program, and methods of the European Training Foundation, proposes that the foundation act as an effective resource center/clearinghouse, use local expertise, and give priority support to integrated projects designed to help establish a vocational training system, support the creation of the instruments/resources needed for a rational training policy, and train vocational policymakers and practitioners.
