Building Bridges between Theory and Practice for Vocational Excellence

The PVE Conference 2025 is designed to foster inter­na­tio­nal exchange and inter­di­sci­pli­na­ry dialogue, aiming to generate and share new knowledge across various sectors of PVE. This year’s themes focus on Lifelong Learning, Talent Development, Social Mobility, Micro-Credentials, and Industry-University-Research Cooperation,” captures the essence of our goal: to forge stronger con­nec­tions between academic insights and practical appli­ca­ti­ons in voca­tio­nal education (Joyce & Cartwright, 2020). These themes explore the role of PVE in addres­sing global chal­lenges, fostering inclu­si­vi­ty, and ensuring indi­vi­du­als are equipped to thrive in an ever-changing world. With a vision to bridge the gap between rese­ar­chers, poli­cy­ma­kers, and prac­ti­tio­ners, the con­fe­rence will serve as a platform to discuss and dis­se­mi­na­te inno­va­ti­ve practices and edu­ca­tio­nal methodologies.
