Inclusive Finnish vocational education and training
Inclusive Finnish vocational education and training

Summary/Abstract: Finnish vocational education and training (VET) is knowledge-based, customer- and work life-oriented (Ministry of Education and Culture, 2019). Its purpose is to provide all applicants in need of vocational training with an individual educational pathway. All students regardless of age, gender, religion, nationality, state of health or disability are welcome to Finnish VET. Therefore, the backgrounds of the students are very different, as some students come to study their first profession and others are career-changers or lifelong learners. The training is organized in an inclusive manner so that all students are equal members of the studying community, and their individual needs are considered when planning their individual study path.
