Through the activities assigned to it, Céreq contributes to monitoring of the implementation of public action, to understanding of the phenomena at work between national or international directives and operationality on the ground, and to analysis of the behaviour of the actors charged with implementing policy measures, of the construction of their professional identities and of the networks and partnerships that are created. The studies focus on public policies on education and training, on vocational guidance and support systems and on certification.
