    Learning for the future and streng­thening sus­taina­bi­li­ty com­pe­ten­ces through research cooperation

    Research days in the field of higher education and vocational education and training 2023

    Organiser: Satakunta University of Applied Sciences Pori University Centre, Sataedu, Winnova, OTTUry

    Changes in working life, digi­ta­li­sa­ti­on, respon­si­bi­li­ty and the green shift are con­stant­ly placing new expec­ta­ti­ons on the skills and abilities that young people should have in their working lives. At the same time, the com­pe­ten­ces of those already in working life need to be renewed. Sustainability com­pe­tence refers to the pro­fes­sio­nal com­pe­tence needed to build a sus­tainable future and consists of com­pe­ten­ces related to work process manage­ment, working in a work community, knowledge of the business envi­ron­ment and the global dimension.

    Conference

    7th Crossing Boundaries Conference

    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?
