03-09-204 | VET’s growing role as a partner in research and knowledge networks is evident by the membership of the VET Council (The Netherlands Association of VET Colleges) in the Knowledge Coalition and the new availability of research grants for VET teachers.
Vocational education and training (VET) plays a crucial role in addressing societal challenges. One of the objectives of current policy for the VET sector is to establish VET as an equal partner in research and innovation. This is one of the priorities laid down in the national Working Agenda for VET and the National Implementation Plan (NIP).
With the VET Council joining the Knowledge Coalition and the new availability of Comenius Teaching Fellow grants for VET teachers, VET is gradually becoming an important player in the scientific community.
