PREFACE 
I am delighted to present the second annual report of the European Training 
Foundation. 
This report marks the first milestone in the Foundation's development. From a 
modest beginning in the summer of 1994, the Foundation had 95 staff in post at the 
end of 1995. 
More importantly, I am now able to state that the Foundation is really .operational, 
which was not the case at the time of writing the first annual report at the beginning 
of 1995. Thanks to the support of the European Commission, in particular, the 
Foundation is now implementing vocational education and training programmes 
on the Commission's behalf, particularly in the countries of Central and Eastern 
Europe. Moreover, following a period of reflection and investigation, we now have 
the Observatory in place mapping developments in vocational training in oui-
Partner States in the east and identifying and compiling key data on sources of 
information of interest to all our partners. The Observatory is at the centre of a 
growing number of networks, the most important of which is the advisory forum 
comprising training experts from some forty countries as well as the major 
international organisations working in this field. 
I should like to express my appreciation to the European Commission for the 
instrumental role it played in setting up the Foundation and in supporting and 
guiding the Foundation ever since as well as to the Member States for their support 
and encouragement. I look forward to continuing and strengthening the close ties 
that exist between us. I am indebted to the governing board for its unstinting 
support and particularly to the Chairman, Dr Tom O'Dwyer, who has done so 
much to make the Foundation a reality. Finally, I should like to thank the Italian 
authorities, particularly, the Piedmont region and the City of Turin, for being such 
generous and supportive hosts.

EUROPEAN TRAINING FOUNDATION 
1995 ANNUAL REPORT 
INTRODUCTION 
This is the second annual report of the European Training Foundation. 
The first annual report1 covers the period spent preparing the 
establishment of the Foundation, that is, 1994. 
The objectives of the Foundation are described in its founding 
regulation2. The Foundation shall contribute to the development of 
the vocational training systems of the countries of Central and 
Eastern Europe as well as the New Independent States of the former 
USSR and Mongolia. 
Parti covers Personnel and Recruitment, Part2 of this report 
describes in detail the activities carried out by the Foundation in its 
first year of operation whilst Parts 3 and 4 outline the work of the 
two statutory bodies foreseen by the regulation, the governing board 
and the advisory forum. Information on the Foundation's budget and 
expenditure in 1995 is contained in Part 5.

PARTI-PERSONNEL AND RECRUITMENT AND 
INFRASTRUCTURE 
1.1. An ongoing recruitment exercise was carried out by the Foundation 
throughout 1995. Over 1 300 Curriculum vitae's were processed and 
some 1 000 candidates received negative replies. The Personnel and 
Administration Department organised some 200 interviews so that by 
the end of 1995,118 staff had been recruited of which 95 were in post 
by 31 December 1995 with the remaining 23 due to start work in the 
early 1996. Only 12 posts remained to be filled to bring the 
Foundation up to its full complement of 130 posts as approved by the 
governing board. 
1.2. Table 1 below sets out the number of staff in post by grade and 
nationality at 31 December 1995.

1.4. The Foundation's offices are situated within a large complex on the 
hillside above the town of Turin provided by the Italian authorities at 
a nominal rent for thirty years. The building, required radical 
refurbishing to be able to house the 130 staff envisaged for the 
Foundation. The building programme has and still is being effected 
in phases with the final phase due for completion in mid-1997. By 
2 January 1995 the Foundation was able to provide office space for 
73 people. A second area was made available to the Foundation at the 
end of April 1995 with further office space and meeting rooms 
becoming available by the end of April 1996. As an interim solution, 
some offices were rented from the adjoining hotel. A warehouse was 
also rented to provide badly needed storage space until archive space 
was due to become available in mid-1997.

PART 2 - EUROPEAN TRAINING FOUNDATION'S 
ACTIVITIES IN 1995 
2.1. As indicated above, the Foundation only began its operational 
activities in 1995 with the first wave of 60 staff taking up post in 
Turin in January. 
2.2. The Foundation's activities in 1995 were defined in the work 
programme which was adopted by the governing board, at the end of 
1994. These fell into the following main categories: 
# the Observatory; 
# projects in the vocational education and training (VET) field in 
the Phare and Tacis countries; 
# providing technical assistance for the Tempus programme3; 
# the management training programme. 
Achievement in each of these areas is described below. 
A. THE OBSERVATORY 
2.3. The concept of the Observatory evolved gradually over a period of 
months at the start of 1995. The Foundation benefited from the advice 
of a number of external individuals and organisations with 
experience of Observatory-type work. 
2.4. Work began in 1995 with the definition of needs for information 
advice and exchange of experience and a commitment not to 
duplicate work undertaken by others in the field. Early contacts were 
made with key international partners - the World Bank, the ILO, 
OECD, CEDEFOP, EBRD, UNESCO and the relevant services in the 
European Commission to establish the state of play on their related 
work. At the same time, preliminary analyses and discussions took 
place with key potential customers to ascertain their precise 
information needs. As a result, the Foundation decided that the 
Observatory should focus in 1995 on a number of priority needs: 
3 TEMPUS (Trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education) Council 
Decision (EEC) n° 246/93 of 29 April 1993 (OJ L112/34) 
12-
# establishing and analysing reliable basic data on vocational 
education and training in each of the Partner States in order to 
support national policy making and reform planning at the level 
of programme and project-based assistance. This led to work 
starting on .the setting up of structures for National Observatories 
for the gathering, analysis and dissemination of data; 
# the setting up of networks and networking instruments to 
encourage the exchange of information and best practice among 
the Partner States as well as east-west; 
# the design and implementation of databases to provide partners 
with specific information on the key players in a given area - e.g., 
experts and expert institutes on a given subject or country, the 
state of play as to the vocational education and training system 
and its links with the labour market; 
# improving the effectiveness of international co-operation by 
encouraging co-ordination especially by pooling human and 
financial resources on the basis of key information on both bl­
and multilateral co-operation in vocational education and 
training between Partner and Member States. 
2.5. The main achievements of the Observatory are listed below: 
a) Developing the concept of National Observatories 
The National Observatories are intended to provide the Partner State 
and the Foundation with information and analysis on developments 
in vocational education and training and in vocational education and 
ti"aining related issues. Three pilot projects were agreed with the 
national authorities in Albania, Hungary and Latvia, in order to build 
up experience for the implementation of National Observatories in all 
Partner States in 1996. This included work on the conceptualisation 
of the National Observatory, the development of a regular 
monitoring system for the pilot project itself, the identification of 
information needs in the Foundation and the first outline of a 
reporting system. Preparatory work also began on setting up 
National Observatories in the New Independent States (see para. 2.13 
for further details) with the Foundation signing a convention with 
the Commission in September 1995 (ECU 600 000) for the first phase. 
In order to identify institutes which might act as National Observatories, 
missions were made to Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, the Russian 
Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. In these 
countries the Foundation and its activities were introduced to a wide 
range of Ministries, institutes and key actors in vocational education 
and training. In the Russian Federation and in Belarus institutions 
were identified which would act as National Observatories. 
13 -
b) Vocational education and training studies 
Background information on the vocational education and training 
system in each Phare Partner State and their specific needs was 
compiled through the pilot project on vocational education and 
training the first phase of which was co-ordinated by the CIBB in the 
Netherlands. On the basis of this information, a cross-country 
analysis was made which outlines common trends and key issues in 
each country. This information will in future be updated regularly by 
the National Observatories, and finally transformed into an action-
oriented framework of data for further development of vocational 
education and training reform taking into account legislative, labour 
market and sectorial developments. 
c) Glossary 
As a follow-up to the advisory forum's recommendation in June 1995 
to produce a glossary of fraining terminology, the Observatory 
commissioned the "Bundesinstitut fur Berufsbildung" (BIBB) in 
Berlin to prepare a feasibility study, to look not only at the 
terminology used in the different vocational education and framing 
systems, but also at different glossary concepts. The first aim of this 
pre-study was to come up with an inventory of already existing 
glossaries, key actors and potential users, material on glossary 
development, and a description of these different attempts. The 
study was due to be completed at the end of March 1996. 
d) Databases 
In this context the Observatory commissioned a feasibility study on 
the implementation of an expert Database (Interactive Network). This 
included: 
# an analysis of needs and requirements of the different potential 
users; 
# analysis of existing databases at the Foundation and other 
organisations which might be suitable for integration into the 
planned information system; 
# the determination of further suitable databases and sources of 
information; and 
# the development of a concept for an information system on 
experts/institutions, projects and countries including several 
alternatives for its realisation. 
The study, which was due to be completed in January 1996, forms the 
basis for the implementation of the software development strategy in 
the Observatory.

B. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING ACTIVITIES 
Central and Eastern Europe 
2.6. A number of conventions were signed between the Commission and 
the Foundation to enable the Foundation from March 1995 onwards 
to implement a range of vocational education and training reform 
programmes previously agreed in the framework of the Phare 
programme. These programmes, which were designed to kick-start 
reform of the vocational education and fraining systems in the 
Partner States concerned, are listed below:

2.7. All programmes are based upon a bottom-up approach where 
selected pilot schools in each country undertake a number of reform 
and development measures which will then be evaluated to 
determine best policy and practice at the national level, feeding 
through to the remaining schools in the country. The core areas of 
focus are: 
# curriculum reform and development; 
# promoting links with EU vocational schools; 
# re-fraining of teachers; 
- # infrastructure and equipment to meet modern curriculum 
requirements. 
15 
2.8. In addition, the Foundation signed a convention with the Commission 
to implement a multi-country initiative, the Phare Staff Development 
Programme (MECU1.4). The programme which aims to develop 
policy awareness and discussion amongst key actors in the 
vocational education and training field in all Partner States (public 
and private sectors, administrations, social partners) was launched in 
July 1995 with a high level meeting in Turin bringing together key 
figures in the vocational education and fraining field for discussion 
and agreement on programme content, design and implementation. 
National networks were then established in all Partner States. Finally 
in November 1995, a procurement exercise resulted in the identification 
of a consortium of training organisations from Italy, the Netherlands, 
France and Germany to implement the fraining and study visits in 
1996 which form the crux of the programme. 
2.9. The Foundation also assisted the Commission with a number of fact­
finding and needs identification missions to Albania, Former 
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Slovenia either as 
part of programming or intelligence-building exercises. This involved 
helping the Commission to elaborate specific proposals for finding. 
* * 
2.10. Meetings aimed at promoting co-operation between Partner States in 
a regional context as well as between Partner States and EU Member 
States, were initiated in 1995. The first of a series of regular meetings 
bringing together all PMUs was held in Turin in March 1995. This 
meeting, which involved the European Commission, defined the role 
and responsibilities of the Foundation in the Phare vocational 
education and fraining reform programmes and determined the 
objectives of future meetings. Two further PMU meetings took place 
- one in Bled in Slovenia in June 1995 and in Madrid in 
December 1995. 
2.11. In Autumn 1995, initial discussion took place between the Foundation 
and the Commission regarding the Foundation's contribution towards 
preparing the associated states to participate in the Leonardo 
programme. It was agreed that the Foundation would support the 
Commission through the following three activities: 
# elaboration of country specific dossiers identifying national 
priorities; 
# organisation of thematic conferences; and 
# support for the development of Leonardo partnerships which 
combine vocational education and fraining institutions from the 
associated states and from the European Union. 
All three actions were due to begin in 1996.

Legal Training programme 
2.12. A pilot study on legal fraining concerning Romania and Poland was 
commissioned from the International Development Law Institute in 
Rome from the Foundation's own budget. The study, which was 
prepared by local experts from the countries concerned, provides an 
overview of the major reforms introduced in the judicial system 
during the last six years, draws up an inventory of the institutional 
framework and the situation in the field of fraining for legal and 
paralegal professions and aims in particular at identifying the 
persisting fraining needs in the above field as well as the scope for 
the development of adapted actions to address them. 
New Independent States and Mongolia 
2.13. In June 1995 the Russian Ministers of Education and Labour visited 
the Foundation in Turin. One outcome was the agreement on a pilot 
project on reforms in vocational education and fraining. In September 
1995 it was agreed with the Austrian, Flemish and Dutch Ministers of 
Education to work together on a project in the north-west region of the 
Russian Federation. Austria, Finland and Germany subsequently 
decided to participate. In November a wide-ranging consultation was 
organised in St. Petersburg with representatives of education institutes 
and companies from four sectors: telecommunication, tourism, transport 
and wood processing. The pilot project was due to start in 1996. 
C. TEMPUS 
2.14. The Foundation assists the European Commission in the implementation 
of the Tempus programme for university co-operation between the 
European Union and the Partner States. In 1995, projects were launched 
with a total value of MECU 102.1 for Phare Partner States and 
MECU 23 for Tacis Partner States bringing the total amount invested 
by Tempus in the reform of higher education systems in the Partner 
States to MECU 519.1 from Phare since 1990 and MECU 48.1 from 
Tacis since 1993. 
Overview of Tempus activities in 1995 
a) Selection support activities 
2.15. The Foundation implements all activities leading to the final decision 
by the European Commission on projects to be supported under 
Tempus. The Foundation's activities are varied, from registration of 
bids, to the provision of technical quality assessments, to information 
and feedback for successful and unsuccessful applicants. The selection 
processes are highlighted below: 
17 
Tempus-Phare 
1) Joint European Project (JEP) 1995: Period from 1 September 1995 
to 31 August 1998, number of applications received: 930. Final 
number of projects supported: 229. 
2) Individual Mobility grants (IMG): In 1995 only East-West Grants 
were awarded for which a fair share of the technical assistance is 
ensured by National Tempus Offices. Two selection rounds were 
carried out: 
• Round 1: Period from 1 September 1995 to 31 August 1996, 
number of applications received: 1065. Final number of project 
supported: 686. 
• Round 2: Period from 1 January 1995 to 31 August 1996, 
number of applications received: 874. Final number of 
project supported: 585. 
3) Complementary measures (CME): two rounds of selections 
operations were carried out: 
• Round 1: Period from 1 October 1995" to 30 September 1996, 
number of applications received: 222. Final number of project 
supported: 78. 
• Round 2: Period from 15 April 1996 to 14 April 1997, number 
of applications received: 38. Final number of project 
supported: 22. 
Tempus-Tacis 
1) Pre-Joint European Projects: Period from 1 September 1995 to 
30 November 1996, number of applications received: 439. Final 
number of project supported: 87. 
2) Joint European Projects: Period from 1 September 1995 to 
31 August 1998, number of applications received: 97. Final 
number of project supported: 31. 
b) Contract management 
2.16. The Foundation ensured the drafting, preparation and issuing of all 
necessary contracts following the above selection mechanisms. In 
addition, contracts were elaborated and negotiated to cover National 
Tempus Offices operations and Joint European Networks (JEN) and 
IMG selection operations carried out in 1994. 
18 -
c) Project monitoring and follow up 
2.17. An intensive programme of monitoring visits, carried out by the EC 
Tempus Office and/or National Tempus Office representatives, was 
launched at the end of 1994 and continued during 1995. The 
programme involved a total of 130 visits to all the Phare countries 
and 55 to the Tacis .countries, the latter mainly performed by the 
Tempus Information Unit in Moscow. 
D. MANAGEMENT TRAINING PROGRAMME 
2.18. 1995 was a preparatory year in respect of management fraining 
activities. During that period the Foundation worked on plans for a 
management fraining programme to be implemented in 1996. The 
draft programme was approved by the governing board in 
September 1995 thus providing the Foundation for a framework in 
which to place the different actions foreseen in the management 
fraining field. 
E. EUROPEAN TRAINING FOUNDATION'S PUBLICATIONS 
IN 1995 
2.19. The Foundation produced a number of general publications in 1995 
as follows: 
# First version of the Foundation information leaflet '95 in 12 
languages, 
# General Foundation information leaflet (English and Italian), 
# "ETFacts" newsletter, versions 1 and 2 (English, French, German 
and Russian), 
# The European Training Foundation Annual Report (in all EU 
languages), 
# Information fiches were also prepared in draft form for six of the 
country-specific Phare vocational education and fraining 
programmes 
In addition, the Foundation provided the European Commission 
with technical assistance for the preparation and production of a 
number of Tempus publications. 
19 -
PART 3 - THE GOVERNING BOARD 
3.1. The governing board is made up of one representative from each 
Member State as well as two representatives from the European 
Commission. Mr O'Dwyer, Director General for Education, Training 
and Youth chairs the board. The director of the Foundation is 
responsible for preparing and organising the work of the board. He is 
accountable to the board for his activities and attends its meetings. 
3.2. Two governing board meetings were prepared and organised by the 
Foundation in 1995 in Turin: one on 14 February and the other on 
25 September. 
3.3. The fourth meeting of the governing board took place in Turin on 
14 February. The board took note of, and offered advice and 
guidance on, the following issues which were reported on by the 
director: 
# the Foundation's plans in the field of vocational training 
(including a specific programme of management fraining) and 
for the Observatory; 
# the results of the first advisory forum in October 1994; 
# the Foundation's recruitment exercise and current staffing 
situation; 
# the Foundation's information and communications strategy; 
# the progress in the building programme for the Foundation's 
offices; 
# the main activities of the Tempus programme the implementation 
of which had been taken over by the Foundation on 3 January 
1995 on behalf of the European Commission. 
3.4. In addition, the board took the following decisions: 
# it approved the director's request to carry forward unspent 
funds amounting to ECU 325 000 from the 1994 to the 1995 
budget; 
# it adopted the draft 1995 budget (total MECU 11); 
# it approved the draft 1996 budget totalling MECU 18; 
# it approved the nomination of Ms. Véronique Frutsaert as 
Assistant Accounting Officer of the Foundation. 
- 20 
3.5. The board met again on 25 September 1995 when it noted the 
following reports made by the director: 
# the results of the second advisory forum held on 12-14 June 1995; 
# progress in recruitment. 
3.6. The board also took a number of decisions: 
# it approved the draft 1996 work programme subject to certain 
amendments; 
# it gave a discharge to the director in respect of the 1994 budget 
expenditure; 
# it approved an amended draft budget for 1995 amounting to 
MECU 10 (following the lifting of MECU 1 of the MECU 2 placed 
in reserve by the European Parliament); 
# it approved the Foundation's request to transfer up to a 
maximum of ECU 200 000 from Title 1 to Title 2 of the 1995 
budget and up to a maximum of ECU 600 000 from Title 1 to 
Title 3. 
21 
PART 4 - THE ADVISORY FORUM 
4.1. The advisory forum held its second meeting on 12-14 June 1995 in 
Turin. The forum discussed the 1996-1998 work programme of the 
Foundation and the reports of the four sub-groups on the following 
issues: 
# the financing of vocational education and fraining; 
# the role of the social partners in the development of fraining; 
# the development of qualifications standards; and 
# the roles and responsibility of key players within- continuing 
education (including management fraining). 
4.2. Members confirmed the value of the sub-groups and recommended 
they be further strengthened. In particular, they decided to: 
# continue with the same Chairman and membership of each sub­
group for a further twelve months; 
# refine further the themes as follows: ' * * 
• systems for the funding of vocational education and fraining 
within a decentralised system, 
• the role of the social partners in the development of fraining, 
including management fraining, within a market economy, 
• standards in relation to assuring quality in the national and 
transnational context with special reference to the 
"vocational" and "modular" models, 
• roles and responsibilities of key actors in continuing fraining 
with special attention to the regional setting; 
# engage the services of an expert (subject to the agreement of the 
Chairman) to help with the preparation of papers and meetings 
of the sub-groups; 
# expand the sub-groups to 20 members each so as to include all 
advisory forum members subject to the approval of the 
governing board and available funding; and 
# convene one meeting of each of the sub-groups before the next 
advisory forum. 
4.3. The advisory forum gave a favourable opinion on the draft work 
programme and made many suggestions for the Foundation's future 
work. The Foundation subsequently incorporated a number of these 
in the revised version of the work programme which it submitted to 
the governing board for approval at its meeting in September 1995.

PART 5-1995 BUDGET 
A. THE 1995 BUDGET 
Budget and management of operational funds 
5.1. The Foundation was allocated a budget for the 1995 financial year 
amounting to MECU 11. The European Community's budgetary 
authority, however, released the Foundation's subvention only 
gradually, that is, MECU 9 at the beginning of 1995, MECU 1 in July 
and MECU 1 in mid-November 1995. This timetable made budget 
implementation* and operational planning very difficult. In addition, 
major uncertainties arose during the autumn over the 1996 budget. 
These factors prompted the Foundation to delay a number of staff 
appointments (at 31 December 1995, of the 118 people recruited, only 
95 had actually taken up post). Despite this reduced workforce, the 
Foundation was able to significantly increase its operational activities 
incorporated under Title 3 (mainly by pressing ahead with the 
implementation of the 1996-1998 work programme). In budgetary 
terms, this was made possible by transferring some of the unused 
appropriations from Title 1, in accordance with the authorisation 
given by the governing board at its meeting on 25 September 1995. 
5.2. To sum up, expenditure in 1995 is set out in Table 1 overleaf:

5.3. In addition to the general Foundation budget, which covers general 
running expenses, the Foundation manages Phare and Tacis 
operational-budgets in the field of vocational fraining and higher 
education. For each of these budgets, a specific convention has been 
signed with the Commission, detailing the activities to be financed 
and the modalities of this financing.
