KulturKontakt Austria in cooperation with ERI SEE and its Cluster on VET is organising the regional workshop on the subject of “Work Based Learning”. A central component of the exchange of experience will be quality enhancement in vocational education and training. In this context, an increasingly strong focus is being placed on cooperation with the business sector.
Vocational education and training in countries with well-developed, attractive VET systems always include work-based learning elements. The forms and framework conditions of in-company learning vary considerably. They range from internships within the framework of mainly school-based VET to primarily in-company training in the context of dual systems. Taking the broad range of possibilities within Austrian VET as examples, the workshop offers an opportunity to discuss the framework conditions, success factors and challenges of the various formats of work-based learning with peers from South Eastern Europe and Austria and to identify priorities in the expansion and qualitative enhancement of work-based learning.
