Global Careers Month is an international initiative to advance career guidance, coordinated by the Inter-Agency Career Guidance Working Group (Cedefop, the European Commission, ETF, ILO, OECD, UNESCO, and the World Bank). The event promotes the exchange of experience, dissemination of good practices, and stronger cooperation among labour market, education, and training institutions.

The 5th Europass, Euroguidance and EVET Vocational Education Forum brings together experts, leaders and practitioners to reflect on the key trends and challenges that are shaping vocational and higher education in the context of digitalisation, sustainable development, and the demands of the modern labour market.

The report attempts to diagnose the reasons for the low participation of adults in education and training.
