    Mangelware Green Skills? Herausforderungen für Bildung und Arbeitsmarkt

    Eine Veranstaltung des OeAD im Rahmen des „Erasmus+ VET Teams Austria“

    Organiser: OeAD | nationale Agentur für Erasmus+

    Der öko­lo­gi­sche und der digitale Wandel eröffnen der Bevölkerung und der Wirtschaft in Europa neue Chancen. Gleichzeitig bringen sie große Veränderungen am Arbeitsmarkt, die einige Branchen besonders stark treffen werden. Die Europäische Union möchte im Rahmen des euro­päi­schen Grünen Deals die globale Erwärmung bekämpfen und bis 2050 CO2-neutral werden. Die Erhaltung der Umwelt und der Kampf gegen die globale Erwärmung ist auch eine zentrale Priorität von Erasmus+ 2021–2027. Das Programm will einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die eigenen negativen Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt zu ver­rin­gern und die Bürger/innen mit den not­wen­di­gen Fähigkeiten und Kompetenzen aus­zu­stat­ten, um zur öko­lo­gi­schen Nachhaltigkeit beizutragen.

    Im Rahmen der Veranstaltung wird ausgehend von euro­päi­schen Initiativen u.a. hin­ter­fragt, welche Maßnahmen im Bereich der beruf­li­chen Bildung in Österreich geplant sind, um den enormen Transformationsbedarf, etwa für den Mobilitätssektor, zu unter­stüt­zen. Weiters werden arbeits­markt­po­li­ti­sche Maßnahmen zur Ökologisierung der Wirtschaft und aus­ge­wähl­te Erasmus+ Förderprojekte, die inno­va­ti­ve Lernangebote zu Green Skills ent­wickeln, beleuchtet.

    Monika Auzinger (3s) referiert zum Thema  “Lernen für den grünen Wandel und eine nach­hal­ti­ge Entwicklung.
    EU-Ratsempfehlung und weitere Initiativen”
    Anmeldung bis 7. Dezember 2022

    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?

    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.
