One of a series of studies on vocational education and training, this review assesses vocational education and training (VET) in Thailand and provides policy recommendations. VET has the potential to provide relevant education and training opportunities to young people and adults in Thailand, especially as the demand for technical skills is high. This can be achieved by building on the strengths of the system, including a strong postsecondary vocational system and a small but dynamic dual system. However, it remains an unattractive option for many students in Thailand, because of a poor image among students and parents, quality issues, a hard-to-navigate system and limited progression pathways. Additional efforts are therefore needed to align the mix of provision with the needs of the Thai labour market. This review provides recommendations on how to improve access to programmes, reduce inequalities in access to high-quality institutions and programmes, make better use of skills intelligence to inform education and training policies, and engage employers in the design and delivery of vocational education and training, including work-based learning.

Schlanke und schnelle Arbeitsabläufe, moderne Betriebsführung und die Entwicklung neuer Geschäftsmodelle: Für viele Unternehmen ist die Digitalisierung eine die Chance auf Modernisierung. Wie müssen wirtschaftswissenschaftliche und -pädagogische Curricula an österreichischen Universitäten gestaltet werden, um Studierende auf die Arbeit in digital transformierten Unternehmen vorzubereiten? Zu dieser Frage forscht die Autorin in ihrer Dissertation, in der 62 Expertinnen und Experten im Rahmen einer Hybrid-Delphi-Studie Thesen zur zukünftigen Studienrichtungsgestaltung beurteilen. Die Ergebnisse prognostizieren u. a. die Verankerung digitaler Lehrinhalte wie Datenmanagement und Cyber Policy bis 2025. Anschließend skizziert Susanne Kamsker Handlungsempfehlungen zur Curriculaentwicklung.

One of a series of studies on vocational education and training, this review assesses the apprenticeship system and vocational education and training in Israel and provides policy recommendations. Israel has experienced strong economic growth over the last decade, and labour shortages are observed in many sectors and occupations. At the same time, inequity and disadvantage in some population groups are rising. This report suggests several ways in which Israel might reform its vocational and apprenticeship programmes so that they effectively support the Israeli economy by providing the skills in demand on the labour market, and improve life chances and social mobility of individuals. The report argues for an expansion and integration of apprenticeship programmes into the mainstream upper secondary system, and development of systematic work-based learning placements in selected school-based vocational programmes. Currently vocational education and training in Israel is fragmented and students and employers often find it difficult to navigate. To address this challenge, the report recommends creating a single strategic body that will plan and guide policy development on vocational education and training, and champion it within government. A relatively large share of adults in Israel has low basic skills, particularly among Arab Israelis and Haredi Jews. Addressing basic skills weaknesses in these populations should be a priority.
