This article looks at the future of vocational education. It begins with a discussion of recent understandings about learning, specifically learning in work environments. Based on these understandings of learning, the author outlines the implications for vocational education in the future. Some of the essential settings where learning of vocation and life occur, such as the family, school and community, are described. In conclusion, the author suggests that vocational education will be a central force for the children and youth of America and that vocational programs in the 21st century will reflect the changing world, with computers and the Internet influencing how and where youth and society will be educated.
