Steering, Networking, and Profiles of Professionals in Vocational Education and Training (VET)
Buchbeitrag in 2nd European Report on VET Research
Profiles of professionals in vocational training systems are analysed as they relate to the mechanisms of control and co-ordination, based on theories of “neo-institutionalism” in organization theory. Vocational training is seen as a complex field in which different types of actors have to be co-ordinated both on individual and organizational levels. The focus lies on the analysis of alternative mechanisms of co-ordination and control beyond the traditional dichotomy between the market and bureaucracy. Conclusions concern the development of proper coordination mechanisms: the shaping of mechanisms of co-ordination should be based on the identification of fractures and shortages inherent in existing structures;
strategies of co-ordination and control should be based on the competence and co-operation of “VET professionals”, teachers and trainers being core professionals; new forms of division of labour among these professional groups, and adequate structures of professional development are important elements of innovative co-ordination policy.
