Summary/Abstract: Paper analyses the recent trends and developments of the VET system in Lithuania related to the attempts of integration of the initial VET schools and the training centres of unemployed without a wide range of preparatory works in layout nature. Author critically analyses the political centralised approaches of such integration providing the overview of the current institutional, socio-economic and educational preconditions and factors. Article concludes that such integration could not help to increase the economic effectiveness, attractiveness of VET and quality of continuing vocational training in Lithuania and even would create new problems and difficulties for the youth, adult learners, unemployed persons and training institutions.
