Final report of ‘The Future of VET’ study published

The synthesis report of the three-year study on the “Future of VET” examines the evolving landscape of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Europe.

In a com­pre­hen­si­ve three-year study, rese­ar­chers and VET experts from across Europe have delved into the dynamic evolution of voca­tio­nal education and training since the mid-1990s. The findings of this research shed light on the potential future oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges that lie ahead. The synthesis report, an amal­ga­ma­ti­on of multiple research papers and case studies pre­vious­ly published, presents a thorough analysis of the content and delivery of VET, assess­ment practices, and the crucial link between initial and con­ti­nuing VET. What makes this report par­ti­cu­lar­ly note­wor­t­hy is its inclusion of an in-depth country-by-country exami­na­ti­on, high­light­ing the diverse deve­lo­p­ments within the European VET landscape.

Over the past three decades, VET in Europe has expe­ri­en­ced signi­fi­cant changes and growth, as observed through the iden­ti­fi­ed trends and deve­lo­p­ments. The report also reveals patterns of con­ver­gence between different countries and their respec­ti­ve VET systems. Learn more about the deve­lo­p­ment, dis­rup­ti­ons and policy reversals and download the report.
