VET holds a prominent position on the European agenda, aiming to equip individuals with the appropriate skills for current and future job demands. By connecting educational institutions and professional environments, VET prepares the future workforce with the essential digital competences needed in today's evolving landscape. VET also plays a crucial role in facilitating the digital transformation process for both learners and future workers.
The JRC supports the digital transformation process of VET, including work-based learning modalities, by working on the following lines of research:
- emerging trends and technologies in VET, from the practitioners’ side
- enablers of digital transformation of VET
- VET systems Case studies
- full development (fine-tune of the current available version) of the SELFIE WBL tool, as a resource for VET institutions and training companies.
