cevet: centre for vocational education and training
cevet background: The Paderborn centre
for vocational education and training
(cevet) is Europe’s only interdisciplinary
center of excellence in vocational
training. cevet conducts research and
development projects in the field of
vocational training, currently with an
emphasis on ‘pathways to worksite’,
competence assessment and development,
and personalized learning, and
also examines the management of
vocational training systems, the impact
of vocational training on the economic
system, and the evaluation of in-service
and classroom-based training measures.
Another field of research is the
use of new media in vocational training.
A central aspect of cevet’s work is the
close cooperation between researchers
and practitioners, a fruitful relationship
that produces national and international
projects, partnerships, Ph.D. workshops
and conferences. The result is a
complex network of vocational training
researchers and institutions, an enabling
environment for future-oriented and
innovative research.
