Future of VET – chal­lenges and choices

The challenges European VET systems face are manifold. The results of a multi-year research project on this were recently discussed at an online conference.

The future of VET in Europe as research topic has been promoted by Cedefop since 2015. 3s coor­di­na­ted the research con­sor­ti­um in both the first resulting project, The changing nature and role of VET in Europe (2015–18), and the follow-up project, The future of voca­tio­nal education and training (VET)(2019–22). Numerous publi­ca­ti­ons provide infor­ma­ti­on on the deeper under­stan­ding of the European voca­tio­nal education and training systems and their changes gained in the process; the latest findings were presented at an online con­fe­rence on 5 and 6 December. Here you can find the docu­men­ta­ti­on and a review of the event.
