The paper reports preliminary findings from an EU funded project on collaboration
and partnership between external stakeholders and universities to deliver workrelated
learning to adults with existing labour market experience in order to increase
skills and competences for the knowledge economy as envisaged in Agenda 2020. The
paper engages with debates on the professionalization of vocational education and
consequently the vocationalisation of university education. It reports relevant data
for the six partner countries of the LETAE project and EU averages to provide some
context to debates about relative levels of attainment and labour market position. It
briefly introduces some data drawn from case studies of work-related learning in higher
education delivered in partnership or collaboration with external stakeholders including
local authorities, trade unions, and individual enterprises.
