More on the future of voca­tio­nal education and training in Europe – volume 2 published

Another volume of results from our three-year Cedefop project was recently published, analysing changes in the institutional setting of IVET delivery in response to changing demand for skills.

Based on a Europe-wide survey of VET providers and in-depth national case studies, the report provides an up-to-date stock­ta­king and insight into the ever-changing VET landscape. While a com­bi­na­ti­on of incre­men­tal change and radical reform has trans­for­med initial VET, the sector overall has retained a clear identity. Common trends over time can be iden­ti­fi­ed in the broa­de­ning of IVET curricula, the importance given to work-based learning and the growing importance of autonomy at local and regional level.
