Vocational Schools are the two-year colleges of universities with important functions and training at the associate degree level in order to train intermediate staff in various sectors. The fact that Vocational Schools have expanded to the district centers outside provincial centers in recent years has created new opportunities for vocational training of women, especially in small settlements and rural areas. However, in practice it seems that the same increase is not reflected in the employment of women receiving vocational training. Today, however, the development of countries seems to be directly proportional to the extent to which women have participated in their working lives. Despite improvements in working conditions in recent years, it is generally accepted that women have difficulty in finding employment or continuing their working life in private sector enterprises. In this study, it is aimed to determine whether there is an interest between the achievement levels of women receiving vocational training in work and their participation in the workforce. Within the scope of the study, women were taken in the programs of Tourism and Hotel Management, Accounting and Tax Applications, Office Management and Secretariat, which are located in Amasya Vocational School of Amasya University. In the study, the rate of female graduation decreased significantly after 2006, but the rate of leaving school increased. While the highest employment of women graduated being in 2007 (56.5%), fell in the following years, it was 34.1% in 2011. Again, in the study it was found that there was no relationship between women's achievement in vocational education and employment participation.

The study analyzes the vocational secondary education in Hungary since 2004 through policy objectives and governmental interventions. It discusses the policy objectives and tools in both periods of it. It points out that the real processes of secondary vocational training has often overridden policy objectives. During the first period, characterized by decentralized education governance, there was progress in reducing early school leaving and increasing the number of vocational school students trained in the workplaces. Subsequent policy focused on adapting vocational education to the needs of the economy, but the centralized education management did not take the social aspects of learning, so many pupils rather chose gymnasium instead of both programs of vocational education.

The German dual vocational training system operates according to a market model. Promoting the supply of training to meet the needs of the economy is supported by the fact that, in dual education, it is not the decisions of the competent authorities and committees, but the decisions of vocational training providers and apprentices that determine the distribution of apprenticeships by profession. The apprentices also carry out value-added work as part of the on-the-job training in the company workplace. Increasing the attractiveness of vocational training and maintaining the proportion of those opting for traditional training will ensure that young people and young adults in education receive attractive levels of pay equal to or above the minimum wage, differing across sectors and qualifications, choose dual training instead of school. The value of work done by students in Germany is estimated to cover two thirds to three quarters of the cost of training. Based on documents available on the website of the German Federal Institute for Vocational Training, the study describes the rules and institutional frameworks for cooperation and activities between authorities, institutions and organizations competent in the field of dual vocational training.

The article analyses the instrumental, social-individual coherence, prestige, cognition, and improvement values of the work, which allows disclosing relevant methodological approaches to the content of vocational education. It is stated that during vocational training, work is usually presented to students not as a value, but as a technological process, with little attention paid to knowing the value context of the work. Therefore, the learning of work technological processes often does not take place in the context of the student’s critical thinking and reflection, during which little attention is paid to the survival of the emotional significance of the work of the student’s chosen profession. To ensure the validity and reliability of the results of the research object quantitative (questionnaire survey) and qualitative (case study) research strategies were used. The study involved 495 students from 27 Lithuanian vocational schools. The study found statistically significant differences between gender in the groups of values of cognition and social-individual coherence. As a result, work often does not become a psychological structure of the student’s value position, which manifests itself in the psychological structure of work values, beliefs, interests, and needs. In such circumstances of cognition of professions, instrumental values, which are characterized by the values of salary, safe, interesting, engaging, and individual-friendly work, are usually established in the curriculum.

During the COVID-19 pandemic time, it is a requirement to deliver online learning since students can not have face-to-face meetings and they depend on gadgets such as a computer, mobile phone, iPad, and laptop to continue their study. One of the subjects is local language learning as this subject is a requirement in some provinces in Indonesia as a gesture concerning local wisdom. However, there is a lack of support for learning the local language since the local languages have a mouth to mouth learning knowledge without any dictionary support. This paper proposed the idea of using the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm to translate the Palembang language to Bahasa Indonesia to help students to learn the Palembang language with the application.

There is an increasing focus on the so-called hybrid teacher, at the European level. This teacher can alternatively work in a vocational school and a business. It is highly believed that this would help to solve both the aging of VET teachers and the quality of VET. The factors determining the choice of a VET teacher as a second career as well as perceptions of the participants’ former occupation were examined in this research using respectively the FIT-Choice and the PPO scales. The survey involved 114 VET teachers from 33 VET institutions of the country. The results revealed the determinants of VET teachers’ career choice, the most important of which are the high requirements of the teaching profession, the willingness to work with young people, and the influence of former teachers. The analysis of the relations between the perception of prior occupations and these determinants showed that social significance of prior occupation, strong interest in the subject and teaching, as well as workplace training self-efficacy facilitates the transition from business to vocational training. The results are discussed taking to similar studies conducted in other countries using the same measuring instruments.

In the last decade, industrial robots have been used in a variety of ways in manufacturing. Owing to the increasing demand for industrial robots, many institutions offer industrial robotic courses. However, industrial robots have been accepted as an emerging tool when it comes to teaching in the area of vocational education and training (TVET). However, it has proved difficult for teachers to adapt to teaching in this way. This paper presents the investigation of TVET teachers’ perceptions of an industrial robotic training course in Thailand. This course provides inservice training for 67 teachers who teach electrical, mechanical, or mechatronic engineering in vocational colleges. The training course uses a four-phase learning cycle: preparation with regard to the concepts of industrial robotics, pedagogies for teaching and learning, presentation, and the professional learning community. The results show that teachers face barriers and have expectations prior to training. Teachers’ satisfaction with the training course after training was also investigated.

The focus of this research is to evaluate the importance of developing different employability competencies in vocational education. The Importance – Performance Analysis (IPA) was used to measure the priority areas in developing employability of graduates in vocational education institutions in Latvia from the employers’ perspective. Total 700 companies participated in this research. A list of 17 employability competencies was rated using a five-point Likert scale. Employers rated the relative importance of employability competencies in the labour market, followed by another rating of performance of vocational education institutions in developing these competencies. The purpose of the research is not only to measure the actual satisfaction and performance level, but also to highlight important areas for improvement. The IPA is a clear and powerful tool for policy makers and managers to find out attributes that are doing well and the attributes that need to be improved and require immediate action. The results are useful in identifying priority areas for curriculum development of vocational education to facilitate employability of graduates.

In our research, we examined the data of students studying in non-baccalaureate vocational schools the National Assessment of Basic Competencies in 2017 and 2019 (Nmathematics: 11 776; Nreading: 11 582). In terms of the effectiveness of the school, one of the most important factors is the kind of work the teacher does, and it is also extremely important how constant the teaching staff is in a school, in other words, how much the teacher fluctuates. Our results did not fully confirm this, as we experienced higher efficiency in the case of higher teacher turnover. At the same time, there are results that support the results of previous research: a higher proportion of beginning, out-of-school and out-of-school teachers is associated with lower student achievement, but this can only be said in relation to the mathematics skill area. In the field of reading comprehension, the opposite trend prevails.
