InnoVET accompanying research meeting in Paderborn
Increasing the attractiveness, quality and equivalence of vocational education and training and initiating new co-operation between learning venues: These are the goals of the innovation competition "Shaping the Future - Innovations for Excellent Vocational Education and Training (InnoVET)". Within this framework, 17 funded projects are developing and testing attractive and high-quality qualification programmes for vocational education and training. InnoVET is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with 74 million euros. An accompanying research meeting took place in Paderborn from 19 to 20 June, bringing together researchers from Paderborn University, the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) and the University of Magdeburg. The focus of the meeting was the exchange on the transfer of innovative approaches in vocational education and training in the context of the InnoVET programme.
One highlight was the presentation by Dr. habil. Ina Krause, who spoke on the topic "Observations on structural change. Work and employment on the threshold of a virtual labour society". The business education specialist conducts research in the BMBF project network InnoVET-Clou "Future Clusters for Innovative Vocational Training" and is a substitute professor at the Chair of Business and Social Education at Paderborn University.
In an exchange forum, the cooperation partners and members of the Department of Business Education also discussed current developments and findings from the third-party funded InnoVET project and the accompanying research project "Innovation and Transfer Processes in Vocational Education and Training (ITiB)" as well as new impulses from their own research.
