Thematic country review on upskilling pathways for low-skilled adults in Croatia : key findings of the first research phase

This report presents the findings from the first (micro) phase of the thematic country review (TCR) on upskilling pathways (UP) in Croatia. It captures the perspectives of both the beneficiaries of the initiatives under review and the stake-holders involved in their implementation. The TCR on UP in Croatia focuses on key areas such as multilevel and multistakeholder governance, the provision of financial and non-financial support, and the strategies for outreach towards beneficiaries. Cedefop's TCRs on UP aim at supporting EU Member States in developing systematic, coordinated and coherent approaches to upskilling pathways for low-skilled adults. These in-depth reviews assess national approaches for implementing the recommendation on upskilling pathways, with the support of key national stakeholders. Italy and France were the first countries to undertake this exercise in 2021, followed by Croatia, whose review spans the period from 2023 to 2026.
