Vocational education and training (VET) can help attract young people with different abilities and learning backgrounds to education. It also plays a decisive role in retaining them in the education system or reintegrating them after a drop-out experience.
Recent datasets contain a wealth of qualitative information on young school leavers’ and returners’ trajectories and their individual motives: What type of education/training programme have they left, and why? How many of them return to education? How many choose VET pathways? And how many graduate eventually?
I’m very glad to announce that the fourth book in ESREA book series now is published, Working and Learning in Times of Uncertainty. Challenges to Adult, Professional and Vocational Education. This book is edited by the network conveners for ESREA research network for Working Life and Learning, Sandra Bholinger, Ulrika Haake, Christian Helms Jørgensen, Hanna Toiviainen and Andreas Wallo.
