For the first time in many years, [Vocational Education and Training Network] VETNET published a collection of short papers in an edited book of VETNET proceedings from the 2018 European Conference on Educational Research (ECER). The papers included are written by established and well-known researchers, by doctoral students and early career researchers. They tell stories about young people and adult learners in vocational education and training, about institutional actors, teachers, trainers and coaches, and about the political, economic and social conditions that shape school-based and workplace learning, and teaching and training in initial, higher and continuous VET.
