The forecast for females in short-cycle tertiary education with vocational or professional focus under EU programmes like ERASMUS indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The participation is expected to drop from 836 in 2024 to 711 in 2028, reflecting a year-on-year decrease. Although 2023 figures are unavailable, this forecast shows a consistent decline without any signs of recovery in the near term. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is negative, underscoring the diminishing trend.
Future trends to watch for include increased emphasis on digital skills, which may influence enrolment in vocational programs. Additionally, policy changes within the EU or economic factors might impact credit mobility and study placements.
