    Education and Employers International Conference

    6th International Conference on Employer Engagement: Preparing Young People for the Future

    Veranstalter: Education and Employers and Edge Foundation

    This virtual con­fe­rence will focus on employer enga­ge­ment in general education, technical and voca­tio­nal education and training, and the extent to which such inter­ven­ti­ons ade­qua­te­ly prepare young people for the rapidly changing world of work. In par­ti­cu­lar, attention will focus on the need to develop and capture the skill requi­re­ments within the changing labour market and how such inter­ven­ti­ons can support young people as part of the response to Covid-19. The con­fe­rence also seeks to reflect on reforms and policy shifts in relation to education and training and employer enga­ge­ment internationally.

    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?

    Embracing Diversity in Vocational Education and Training (VET)

    Umeå University

    Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Nordic countries is shaped by strong welfare traditions, close relationships between education and working life, and longstanding ambitions of equality, inclusion and high‑quality education for all. Nevertheless, Nordic VET systems display substantial variation and complexity, influenced by social, demographic, pedagogical and structural differences across countries, regions, institutions and vocational fields. The 2027 NORDYRK conference Embracing Diversity in VET invites researchers, practitioners and policymakers to explore how such diversity shapes the conditions, opportunities and challenges of VET.   The Call for abstracts opens on November 11, 2026 and closes on January 31, 2027. Registration is required.
