The research on educational and career paths of youth workers in Europe began in 2017 with a survey of Council of Europe member states on five broad aspects:

  • youth policy and legislation;
  • educational and training for youth workers (including opportunities offered in the fields of both formal and non-formal education and training);
  • quality assurance and competence frameworks and systems;
  • associations of youth workers;
  • employment opportunities and career paths for youth workers and professionalisation.

The results of the information submitted by 41 member state representatives in the European Knowledge Centre on Youth Policy (EKCYP) network and in the European Steering Committee on Youth (CDEJ) have been analysed in two parts:

 Part I. Report Mapping educational and career paths of youth workers, edited by James O’Donovan
 Appendices to the report:
 Part II. Diversity of practice architectures on educational and career paths of youth workers in Europe, by Tomi Kiilakoski
