Wouter Sanderse – Journal of Vocational Education and Training, 2024
The notion of "Bildung" has been booming in several European countries for almost twenty years now, but it has attracted little attention in vocational education.

In this paper, drawing on an extensive research project across three countries (VET Africa 4.0 Collective 2023), we produce an emerging argument that it is necessary to rethink and reframe VET logics and approaches in a warming future dominated by informality and mass unemployment.
