Abstract	This discussion report is the outcome of a pilot study to assess the use of vouchers to fund different types of training within the European Union. It discusses issues related to the use of vouchers and voucher- like mechanisms to fund or part-fund individuals to participate in vocational education and training (VET). The policy context in which demand-side financing mechanisms and vouchers for post-compulsory education and training have been introduced is discussed, and the rationale, principles and operation of voucher and voucher-like mechanisms are presented. Case studies, most of which involve public funding, show how voucher mechanisms have been introduced and how they operate in several countries. The conclusions indicate that voucher and voucher-like schemes can provide a flexible mechanism to meet a wide range of VET funding objectives. (DIPF/ orig.).
