VET has been classified according to its aims, which are directly linked to the labour market. ISCED might serve as a salient example here since it classifies VET by its labour-market orientation. This definition, however, makes it somewhat difficult to differentiate between VET and general education since both contain elements that are important for the labour market and others that are more general for citizenship and social life. It is unlikely that any social survey contains sufficient information about the content of learning to enable differentiations to be made between aspects of learning related to the labour market and those that provide more general skills and competences (Jenkins and Sabates, 2007).
