The study contributes to a better understanding of how European vocational education and training (VET) is changing in the 28 member states of the EU as well as Iceland and Norway. A key objective of the study is to analyse these changes, taking into account factors internal as well as external to the education and training system. The research clarifies how VET is defined and understood by stakeholders at national level, how this understanding has evolved over time and, notably, how it has been translated into political strategies and institutional solutions. The consortium collected and analysed relevant quantitative and qualitative data at national and European level to address these issues.
