Recognising the regular adoption, by countries across the globe, of the vocational education and training (VET) model already so prevalent in German-speaking countries such as Austria, Germany and Switzerland, this book spotlights dual modes of VET, depicting its global emergence and subsequent cross-national attraction.Globally, the practice of combining schools and workplace practice and learning is seen as a gold-standard for cross-national attraction: the comparison between, and borrowing of, national policies. Using case studies from Eastern Europe, Azerbaijan, India and Latin America, chapters demonstrate how these countries aim to support dual modes of VET to strengthen their own economic and cultural weight abroad, as well as accelerating developmental goals for industry. Further, these countries look to European VET models for integration of their youth both in the labour market and in establishing alternative pathways for young people in the workforce. Chapters discuss the significance of the international context in understanding the nuance involved with duality in VET adoption, as well as shedding light on the transnational diffusion of education policies at both national and global levels.This book will be of use to scholars, postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of international and comparative education, vocational education and training, and adult education and lifelong learning more broadly. Policy makers working in international policy transfer may also benefit from this volume.
International Transfer of Dual Modes of Vocational Education and Training
National Recontextualization and Local Enactment

This volume looks at the recontextualization that results from the international transfer of dual modes of vocational education and training (VET), typically focused on apprenticeships, in their countries’ new nation-specific and local context, highlighting the absorptive capacities and the different modes of duality in VET.Combining perspectives and data from a truly international set of contributors, the book identifies diverse translations and enactments of dual modes of vocational education and training. Using a case study approach to understand why and how education policies travel across different world regions, and how they mutate in such processes, the book ultimately provides empirical insights into the dynamics involved in the dissemination and recontextualization of global education policies. Chapters discuss local enactments, such as the views of apprentices in two states in Mexico, and an in-depth look at the Industrial Training Institute (based on the Dual System of Training) located in Gujarat, India. Further case studies stretch across the globe from contexts as diverse as China, Spain and Canada, and refer to countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, Botswana and Namibia.This book will be of use to scholars, postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of international and comparative education, vocational education and training, and adult education and lifelong learning more broadly. Policy makers working in international policy transfer may also benefit from this volume.
