Vocational education and training (VET) systems are a vital driver of the European twin transition. It is challenging for VET learners to keep up with the increasing demands of digital economies and societies.
This policy brief uses Cedefop’s second European Skills and Jobs Survey (ESJS2) to make a case for a renewed digital skills revolution in VET. The findings it presents point towards the disadvantage workers with a VET background have in terms of their capacity to continuously invest in their digital skills. The brief underlines that digital skills policy in VET and its implementation must be inclusive, connect different policy areas and have a strong focus on the continuing professional development of VET teachers and trainers.
