Vocational education and training is one of the key areas shaping our society. Like other areas of the education system, it is called upon to face up to the current developments and challenges of a transforming world under new geopolitical conditions and to develop suitable solutions for the associated tasks. Vocational education and training is a central building block for securing skilled labour, progress and economic success, as well as for education, democracy and stability in our society. Under the title: "Sustainable - Digital - Equitable. Future scenarios for work, education and careers", experts in vocational education and training will be discussing research findings and approaches to current topics in vocational education and training at Paderborn University from 17 to 19 March 2025.
The "Vocational Education and Training" University Days have been held every two years since 1980 at different university locations, most recently in 2023 at the University of Bamberg, before that in Siegen and Cologne. Over the past decades, they have developed into a forum for stakeholders and experts who deal with current academic, political and practical challenges and future-oriented issues in vocational education and training. With over 1,000 participants, the "Vocational Education and Training" university conferences are one of the largest nationwide formats for dialogue between academia, practice and politics.
There will be a "Call for Papers" for the symposia, workshops, poster sessions etc. at the end of March 2024.
The organisers - the team of the Educational Science working group with a focus on vocational education at Paderborn University - look forward to welcoming all those interested in vocational education and training from schools, companies, politics and educational administration to Paderborn University in March 2025.
