Benefiting from the support and involvement of two major international
research networks, this collection features the latest research findings
in TVET. Members of INAP, the International Network on Innovative
Apprenticeship, and VETNET, the Vocational Education and Training
Network, have contributed key research findings to this detailed survey
of the field. Featuring the inclusion of the internationally recognized
memorandum released in April 2012 by the INAP Architecture
Apprenticeship Commission, the volume covers a wealth of issues relating
to technical and vocational education and training, including exemplar
architectures such as successful school-to-work transitions, competence
assessment and development models, and governance, including the role of
stakeholders. The book provides many opportunities to explore in depth
the scholarly debate on TVET, as well as to learn from positive
international experiences. It aims to inform the practice of TVET
professionals as much as the decision making of administrators.
