Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in dual VET — Webinar

DC dVET Webinar

Organiser: DC dVET

Following our BarCamp series on Gender Equality and Social Inclusion in dual VET, we’re pleased to invite you for another round of dis­cus­sion to dive deeper into practical appli­ca­ti­on of GESI in VET and enter­pri­ses. In our upcoming webinar  we will focus on how GESI is imple­men­ted in dual VET in deve­lo­p­ment coope­ra­ti­on. We will par­ti­cu­lar­ly assess and discuss the importance of targeted and sensitive approa­ches in pro­gramming and an inclusive culture within partner orga­ni­sa­ti­ons. During the webinar, our GESI expert, Ms Sandra Rothboeck, will engage with repre­sen­ta­ti­ves from BRAC Bangladeshand Enable India on how they have developed a GESI culture in their own orga­nizati­ons. This dis­cus­sion will be framed by an input from the GIZ global project ‘Inclusion of people with disa­bi­li­ties’ on the recent deve­lo­p­ments and trends and their newly launched marker on inclusion.  Please register for the webinar : Register here

The Making of Apprenticeships

Divergence, Experience, and the Transformation of Vocational Education & Training

Dietmar Frommberger & Christoph Porcher

The conference explores the making and remaking of apprenticeships as a global historical phenomenon, tracing how pre-industrial craft training evolved under industrialisation, state-building, and changing educational ideas. It focuses both on institutional change and on the lived experiences of apprentices, masters, and other actors, and invites contributions from all periods and world regions.

Learning Across Continents: Conversations in a divided world

VETNET

Topics:

  • How do we understand the role of VET in preparing young people for work when labour markets and workplaces are in flux nationally and internationally?
  • Is this changing the nature of VET and VET curricula? Is it raising new questions on work, labour markets and education? What is core to VET that is stable across different contexts?
  • Are systems looking more similar or more different from each other?
  • What are the main factors—such as workplace organisation, changing labour markets, changing enrolment in schools and universities, and the nature of economies that are influencing different aspects of VET provision—such as curriculum, governance, partnerships, enrollment patterns—in different countries?
  • How do we connect better as researchers, and use VET research to build connection?
