The proposal aims to revise the Founding Regulation of the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) from 1975. The reasons for the revision are twofold.
The revision of the Cedefop's Founding Regulation will align certain provisions of the existing Regulation governing Cedefop with the Common Approach on Decentralised Agencies.
The revision also offers the opportunity to update the objectives and tasks of Cedefop. Since its establishment in 1975, the Centre has adapted its activities to the overall societal, institutional and economic developments and emerging trends in European policies in the field of vocational education and training.

The revision also offers the opportunity to update the objectives and tasks of Cedefop. Since its establishment in 1975, the Centre has adapted its activities to the overall societal, institutional and economic developments and emerging trends in European policies in the field of vocational education and training. This includes technological developments, as vocational occupations have been increasingly relying on the use of digital technologies. To respond to the evolution of the changing policy context, Cedefop's current activities go beyond vocational education and training and include work on qualifications, in particular the European Qualifications Framework, on skills analysis and forecasting, and the validation of non-formal and informal learning which should all be acknowledged. The new objectives and tasks will be adjusted to better reflect these developments.
The revision is not an initiative within the Regulatory Fitness Programme (REFIT).
The other two so-called tripartite Agencies of the European Union, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) and the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) will also undergo a revision of their respective Founding Regulations at the same time as Cedefop.
