Abstract

VET (vocational education and training) is a highly complex, multidimensional worldwide phenomenon with diverse structures. Additionally, very different actors define the functions of a national (or even a regional) VET system. The paper contributes to a better understanding of the policy frameworks and current states of such systems. Therefore, we focus on selected VET systems in order to understand their specifics and thus, their market conditions. A qualitative approach is used to answer the research question regarding which conditions create or support market-based opportunities for the provision of commercial vocational training services. We find that the liberalism and deregulation of the VET sectors, as well as the marketisation of VET practices, lead to incentives to internationalise VET offers. Thinking in terms of skills, the kind of education system does not play a role. This is the case in liberal market-driven VET approaches (here, the UK, the USA and Australia) and is mirrored in the micro-analysis categories of curricula, learning location, content, and learning process.

国际职业教育培训机构的市场状况:澳大利亚、英国、美国和德国的比较分析。
职业教育与培训(VET)是一个高度复杂的、多维的、具有多种结构的世界性现象。此外,非常不同的参与者定义了国家(甚至地区)职业教育教育体系的功能。本文有助于更好地理解这些系统的政策框架和现状。因此,我们专注于选定的职业教育培训体系,以了解其具体情况,从而了解其市场状况。采用定性方法来回答关于哪些条件创造或支持以市场为基础提供商业职业培训服务的机会的研究问题。我们发现,职业教育教育部门的自由主义和放松管制,以及职业教育教育实践的市场化,导致了职业教育教育国际化的动机。就技能而言,教育体系的类型并没有发挥作用。这是自由市场驱动的职业教育教育方法(这里是英国、美国和澳大利亚)的情况,并反映在课程、学习地点、内容和学习过程的微观分析类别中。

期刊介绍: The main focus of this journal is to provide a platform for original empirical investigations in the field of professional, vocational and technical education, comparing the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of different vocational education systems at the school, company and systemic level. The journal fills a gap in the existing literature focusing on empirically-oriented academic research and stimulating the interest in strengthening the vocational part of the educational system, both at the basic and higher education level.
