International Journal of Vocational Education Studies Vol. 1, Issue 2/2024

Vocational education studies is a relatively young academic discipline compared to other social sciences. The degree of professionalization and institutionalization of vocational education research varies greatly in different countries, as do approaches to vocational education and training. Since the importance of vocational education and training is increasing significantly, the need for academic exchange is also growing. The International Journal of Vocational Education Studies (IJVES) promotes academic exchange on current developments in vocational education and training worldwide. The second issue of IJVES focusses on the crucial theme of »Teacher and Trainer Education«. As the landscape of vocational education and training (VET) continues to evolve, the contributors explore and advance our understanding of the roles, challenges, and opportunities that VET teachers and trainers encounter. VET institutions and in-company training settings play a vital role in preparing individuals for the workforce and fostering lifelong learning.
