For the third time, VETNET organised a research workshop during the European Vocational Skills Week in collaboration with and upon the invitation of the European Commission, Employment Social Affairs & Inclusion. Focusing challenges of vocational education and training across the lifespan, four impetus presentations were given and discussed by VETNET researchers from all around the world. The four impetus presentations: Kersh, Natasha & Evans, Karen: Lifelong Learning and VET: Towards Understanding the Influence of Societal Eco-Systems on Learning across the Lifespan; Dumartin, Eric: Apprenticeship Reform in France; Ó Murchadha, Eoghan: The VET Skills Cycle and the Formation of Construction Management Skills in Ireland; Marhuenda, Fernando and Olmos, Patricia: The Role of VET on the Inclusion of Marginalized Young People and Adult People from A Lifelong Perspective Across the Lifespan. The final report will be available by the end of the year.
