Vocational Education Training (VET Sample Clauses

Vocational Education Training (VET. The potential of vocational training to support or even drive competitiveness, innovation and growth policies has largely been neglected in education and training policies, in particular when compared with the role attributed to the higher education sector. This neglect is harmful as it underestimates the crucial importance of high volume and high quality VET for retaining and developing the economy. Better vocational education is vital if Europe is to respond adequately to its challenges of global competition, high numbers of low-skilled workers and young unemployed, and ageing populations. A review of vocational education and training (VET) requires some definition that distinguishes the various terms and concepts used to depict this very complex level of education. Many terms describe one or more elements of what may be conceived as comprising VET. Terms commonly used in different contexts and countries include: ■ Apprenticeship programmes; ■ Vocational education; ■ Technical education, or technical and vocational education and training (TVET); ■ Occupational education (OE); ■ Career and technical education (CTE); ■ Workforce or workplace education (WE) and workforce development (WD). An education that prepares people for specific trades, crafts and careers at various levels from a trade, a craft, technician, or a professional position in engineering, accountancy, nursing, medicine, and other healing arts, architecture, pharmacy, law etc. Craft vocations are usually based on manual or practical activities, traditionally non-academic, related to a specific trade, occupation, or vocation. It is sometimes referred to as technical education as the trainee directly develops expertise in a particular group of techniques.
