Curriculum Development and Implementation

The term curriculum in this issue encompasses the intended, the implemented and the achieved curriculum. The exploration of curriculum in VET is pivotal. Curricula must not only respond to the evolving demands of labour markets but also anticipate future skills needs, ensuring that learners are equipped with both the technical competencies and the transversal skills required for sustainable careers. A deep understanding of curriculum structures and their development and implementation — from the development of national frameworks to the implementation of specific programs in local contexts — provides crucial insights into how VET systems can achieve their mandates of fostering employability and contributing to social equity and personality development.

History of VET

The International Journal of Vocational Education Studies is pleased to announce a call for papers for the thematic section of issue four dedicated to the "History of Vocational Education and Training". We invite scholars from various disciplines to submit their manuscripts that explore the multifaceted history of vocational education and training (VET) across different regions, cultures, approaches, sectors, and time periods.

This call for papers aims to bring together a diverse range of studies and perspectives to enrich our understanding of how vocational education and training have shaped and been shaped by historical forces. We encourage submissions that offer new insights and foster a deeper appreciation of VET's role in societal development.
