ARTICLES and PAPERS
Austria, Denmark and Germany. The Role of Vocational Education and Training in the Integration of Refugees in Austria, Denmark and Germany
To access and complete VET, refugees depend on supporting measures to overcome a variety of barriers, e.g. regarding language training and access to apprenticeships. Overall, reforms in Germany demonstrate promising initiatives to overcome the barriers to the integration of refugees in VET, while reforms in Austria and Denmark have limited refugees’ opportunities to access and complete VET.

Palestine. Students Professionalism in Secondary Vocational Schools in Palestine: Strengths and Shortcomings of Work-Based Learning Practices
This paper argues that the lack of a regulatory framework presents a difficult challenge to secondary vocational schools. Similarly, there are no official arrangements with the private sector and, most importantly, there is a dearth of efficient WBL practices that link students with the market to provide students not only with professional competencies, but also with social and personal competencies.

Spain. “Laying bricks to build integrated career guidance plans”: Best practices in vocational education and training in Andalusia, Spain
One of the first conclusions of the study is the uneven development of best practices in the different VET professional pathways. The practices carried out in the centres begin to incorporate different elements and thus facilitate the creation of a suitable context for the development of comprehensive career guidance plans in VET.

Canada. Lost opportunities: measuring the unrealized value of skill vacancies in Canada
In Canada, skills vacancies represent $25 billion in unrealized economic value, an increase from $15 billion in 2015. Rising job vacancy numbers, higher wages, and changes in the types of available jobs have all contributed to this increase. Our research examines skill deficiencies in the workforce, what those skills are worth, and how much economic value is being lost, to help illuminate the needs and requirements for Canadian labour, education, and immigration policy-makers.
