    Call for Papers — JVET Conference

    Journal of Vocational Education and Training (JVET) Conference on 'The context and purpose of TVET'

    Organiser: JVET

    Call for papers:

    The Journal of Vocational Education and Training (JVET) Conference Committee invites con­tri­bu­ti­ons to our suc­cessful biennial inter­na­tio­nal con­fe­rence. The meeting provides a critical forum for inter­na­tio­nal debates on all aspects of voca­tio­nal education and training, and deve­lo­p­ments in work and learning. Conference pre­sen­ta­ti­ons are welcome relating to the theme of the context and purpose of TVET. This theme is inten­tio­nal­ly broad, to allow for a diverse range of per­spec­ti­ves on a diverse range of topics in TVET. For example,

    -policy and practice in TVET
    ‑students and their contexts
    ‑chal­lenges and dilemmas for TVET in sup­port­ing social justice, social inclusion, and sustainability
    ‑pathways to further education, higher education and the labour market
    ‑TVET tran­si­ti­on systems
    ‑TVET post-Covid
    ‑TVET in times of crisis
    teacher education and deve­lo­p­ment in TVET etc. are just some of the issues that may be included.

    This call for papers is open to all con­tri­bu­ti­ons that seek to enrich this field of inquiry.

    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?
