Evolution analysis of the practices related to social partners participation on LLL (2002-2005)(I).
The first follow up report (2003), four main types of actions:
Dissemination activities of the framework of actions. Discussion on the framework between SP and its inclusion on
collective agreements. Promotion on the approach through a tripartite concertation. Follow up of one or several priorities through more focussed actions
and projects.
The four priorities: A. To identify and anticipate competencies and qualifications needs
B. To recognise and validate competencies and qualifications
C. To inform, support and provide guidance
D. To mobilise resources.

Evolution analysis of the practices related to social partners participation on LLL (2002-2005)(II).
The main traces of the contents of second and third follow up report (2004-2005) are:
More implication of social partners in tripartite activities as regards of design of National LLL policies.
Increase of bipartite activities focussed on developing competences at national, sectoral and company levels.
Stronger efforts of social partners in more countries to anticipate and identify key competencies. More involvement of social partners in actions improving conditions
for adult learning. Mobilising resources area is clearly a increasingly measure:
improvement
of financial regulations on countries and new initiatives co-financing
training are the main tools supported and developed by social partners.

Some observed trends for developing researching strategies: Framework results environment: more based in Vocational Continuous Training
systems than in VET (learning in employment). Strategies and experiences are linked mostly to NAEP’s: important for further
impact evaluation. The Sectoral and companies successful experiences must be spread it between
countries and testing feasibility connected to partnership with education and training. institutions.
Clustering on social partners involvement: strategy is more developed in those countries with strong collective bargaining culture. Challenge for transferring experiences to East a New member countries is a clear challenge.
