The European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training ( CEDEFOP) assists the Cominissionof the European Communities in the developMent of initial and. con tinuing vocational training. It also acts as a European forum. for institutions and ex- perts' concerned with vocational training, enabling them ,,to exchang / ideas and ex; perience and hwnonize conceptual and practical initiatives. Since commencing its operational activities in 1976, vocational guidance and training of girls and women has been, a.priority area In accordance with the line Of action ailopted by the Commission and the views expressed by the. social partners, the Centre organized a conference in September 1977 on the subject of ,,Equal Opportunities and .Vocational training". The participants frs,rn all the MeMber States'of the European Commufth,y expressed concern at the decline in the number of women in employment and i.equested that CEDEFOP should develop an action prOgramme designed to en- sure that the estr.blished 'legal principle of equal opportunities for men and women in employment are observed in practice. - - In pursuance of this aim, the Cen'tre conducted a docuinentary survey on pilot projects financed by the European Social Fund and -im lemented in the individual Member States. In this initial phase, attention focused the co on and dotumentaion of information on traini g programmes designed to achieveGreateroccupational choice and grant access those- jobs and trades in which women -are traditionally ,under- rep resen ted. ,. In 1980, the Centre published the results of this survey. Repoits .were drawn up on Jr, each Member State, in many cases with the assistance ofg national institution.With the present synthesis report, which is available in six Community languages, the Centre intends to encourage the exchange of ideas and experience across the national . frontiers and, hopes to stimulate new initiatives in the vocational preparatibn and traininr71,0inen. , CEDEFOP Berlin, May 1981 ..
