Vocational training policies have evolved accordingly and encompass a variety of instruments and initiatives, some of which, namely those related to skills and qualifications, including validation of learning, necessarily go beyond the traditional boundaries of vocational education and training.
V skladu s tem so se razvijale tudi politike poklicnega usposabljanja, ki zajemajo različne instrumente in pobude, od katerih tiste v zvezi z znanjem in spretnostmi ter kvalifikacijami, vključno s potrjevanjem učenja, presegajo tradicionalne meje poklicnega izobraževanja in usposabljanja.
