In the VET sector, aspects of internationalisation appear to be
moving from the periphery to the centre with regard to both policy and
practice. However, much of the research and scholarship on
internationalisation focuses on the higher education sector, while
little is known about how internationalisation is operating in VET
systems around the world.
This research digest notes the lack of literature and provides a
discussion of the nature and key aspects of internationalisation in VET.
It argues that as an emerging field of scholarship, international VET
should be acknowledged and developed as a research field that has the
potential to offer valuable insights on the realities and the challenges
for contemporary VET practice and policy.
