The Transformation of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in the Baltic States - Survey of Reforms and Developments (Technical and Vocational Education ... Training: Issues, Concerns and Prospects)

Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, among the newest member states of the European Union, are part of the "Copenhagen process," the EU’s training and education initiative. These nations have enjoyed special attention in European Vocational Education and Training (VET) policy. This book reviews and analyses reforms in VET and its applications. The book will benefit researchers studying VET in the Baltic states, and in the broader context of internationalisation. The newest member states of the EU - among them the Baltic states- are now involved in the Copenhagen process and are a source of enormous (human) potential that can greatly enrich Europe. As the Baltic States have enjoyed special attention in European VET policy, the reforms in VET and its structures are the subject of critical debate in this book. We hope that this book will be of service to both researchers and lecturers in the study of VET in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as for the broader context of internationalisation in VET. Various states of the EU, among them the Baltic states, are involved in the Copenhagen process and are a source of enormous (human) potential that can enrich Europe. As the Baltic States have enjoyed special attention in European VET policy, the reforms in VET and its structures are the subject of debate in this book
