Quality report
Data description (SIMS 3.1)
The statistics on continuing vocational training (CVTS) collect data on the amount, quality and costs of training offered by enterprises to their personnel and on enterprises’ training strategies. The first Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS1) was conducted in 1994 concerning 1993. The survey was then implemented in 12 Member States of the European Union, but Finland did not participate in the data collecting. The data for the second Continuing Vocational Training Survey (CVTS2) were collected in 2000. From this onwards, the data collection has been carried out around every fifth year. In Finland, Statistics Finland has been responsible for publishing data from the survey.
