The Making of Apprenticeships

Divergence, Experience, and the Transformation of Vocational Education & Training

Veranstalter: 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.

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?
