Trends in vocational education and training research, vol. VII. Proceedings of the European Conference on Educational Research (ECER), Vocational Education and Training Network (VETNET)

This seventh volume of Trends in Research on Vocational Education and Training arrives at a significant moment for European VET and VET research. As researchers from the Vocational Education and Training Network (VETNET) assemble for the 2024 European Conference on Educational Research (ECER) in Nicosia, policymakers and international agencies call on VET more than ever before to combat major problems of economic crisis and societal tension. Yet each of these challenges also requires VET to change itself, moving beyond the foundations of its past success. This volume illustrates some of the ways in which VET research addresses these challenges, reporting examples of recent and ongoing work by members of the network.
