Needs and problems have been identified in previous projects. Austria and Germany have a clear advantage over other countries. Especially compared to Spain, Greece and Italy. 
In Austria there is a good system for cooperation between vocational training and companies. The system should be brought more into practice. To do this, there needs to be financial support for ensuring quality and monitoring the impact of workplace learning.
There must be a better system for vocational education in Germany. For this, the practical working people should improve their skills. Then their companies can look more appealing with workplace learning. Because the people help the trainees and learners. Therefore, they should have very good skills and share their knowledge. The new technologies are helping to shape workplace learning. 
In Greece, the vocational education system has not been redesigned yet. At the moment, there are some weaknesses in their training system. One reason is the reputation of a vocational career. It is still weak in Greece. There are also only a few jobs. This is especially seen in private sectors. The system also has too small a reach.
