The goal of the project assigned by the European Commission was to prepare the 3rd wave of the survey on Continuing Vocational Training (CVTS III) in Europe, which was planned for 2006.
Led by Bundesinstituts für Berufsbildung (BIBB) ], a consortium consisting of research institutions and national statistical offices, prepared proposals to solve open methodical questions. Other major concerns included reviewing the possibility of enlarging the survey to micro enterprises (less than 10 employees) and additional branches (e.g. health and education) as well as to improve the indicator concepts in different areas.
