    The future of VET

    Cornerstone for competitiveness and inclusive growth

    Veranstalter: Cedefop

    The virtual con­fe­rence will provide an oppor­tu­ni­ty for policy-makers, stake­hol­ders, experts and rese­ar­chers to discuss the findings of the research project on VET excel­lence and inclusion.

    Its aim will be to deepen Cedefop’s under­stan­ding of the chal­lenges facing European voca­tio­nal education and training (VET) in the coming decades. Discussions will focus on how the concepts of excel­lence and inclusion are under­s­tood, addressed and ope­ra­tio­na­li­sed at a national level.

    The con­fe­rence will examine the cha­rac­te­ri­stics of VET at higher levels and how (as well as whether and in which form) they underpin excel­lence but also how they deal with inclusion. It further com­ple­ments the ongoing political dis­cus­sion on the future of European VET.

    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?
