Teachers and trainers in a changing world

VET teachers and trainers and a comprehensive approach to their professional development are key to improving education and training processes in Europe. The 29 thematic perspective reports (EU Member States plus Iceland and Norway) aim at addressing information gaps, and map systematic national approaches to, and opportunities for, initial and continuing professional development of VET teachers and trainers in both school and work-based settings. The country reports provide national definitions of key terms; they offer a clear picture of the teaching professionals working in initial VET, and of how their professional development is organised and supported.
