3s at Experts Workshop “VET in the 21st century – Future trends and priorities” Cedefop, Thessaloniki 20-21 February 2018

The workshop will build on the findings of the ongoing (2015-2018) Cedefop project on ‘The changing nature and role of vocational education and training in Europe’, coordinated by 3s.

This work, based on a combination of different research methodologies, aims for an in-depth insight into the overall standing and role of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe today. An important part of the research is to better understand the dynamic character of VET, which is why developments during the last 20-25 years are carefully mapped and analysed by the study.

The 2018 workshop follows on from previous events in 2016 and 2017 and will provide an opportunity to present interim findings of the project and discuss how these can be synthesised and feed into the final (‘scenario’) part of the project. The workshop will play an important role as regards the planning of a series of events to take place during the Austrian Presidency of the EU council autumn 2018.
