The purpose of the survey is to obtain information on how enterprises invest in CVT and skills development. The results are used to compile Sweden’s official statistics, which provide a basis for decision‑making both within Sweden and the EU, as well as for research and public debate. The survey is conducted every five years in all EU Member States.

Providing this information often requires the involvement of several functions within the enterprise, for example HR, finance, and payroll, since the questions cover different areas. Therefore, it is advisable to review the questions before logging in to the online questionnaire; see the links below.

Examples of the information requested:

• Training activities carried out in the form of courses, workshops, conferences, e‑learning, etc., during 2025.
• Number of participants (broken down by sex), time spent, and planned CVT activities as well as cases where no CVT was offered.
• Training costs and contributions received or provided to training funds.

Kindly note that the questionnaire is only available in Swedish. If necessary, use the English preview to understand what information is being requested. Follow the numbering of the questions when entering your answers in the electronic questionnaire.
