Focus on the future of vocational education and training
Dear subscribers,
Making vocational education and training (VET) future-proof has been a leitmotif for policy-makers in 2018. Their reflections on this goal culminated in the formulation of a vision by the Commission’s Advisory Committee for Vocational Training (ACVT) to guide EU policy. These reflections also prompted Cedefop to explore the views of policy-makers and social partners on VET’s benefits and challenges, as well as the views of those who experience VET directly: learners, teachers and parents. Since helping to shape policy is in our DNA, we contributed to this vision by studying VET’s past dynamic development to sketch out possible future directions it may take. Our initial findings informed the July Austrian EU Presidency VET conference; our future scenarios were at the heart of our Vienna event in November’s European vocational skills week. Participant feedback has been instrumental in taking these reflections further at a jointly held seminar with the Austrian Presidency in Brussels. We are looking forward to building on this work in 2019.
