This book assesses the extent to which ideas and structures of the Swiss vocational and professional education and training (VPET) system could also be applied to vocational qualifications in other countries. It offers a look at the different forms of VPET in Switzerland and introduces the development and structure of the system as well as its governance and legal foundation. Besides providing insight into the functions of vocational training and the education and training pathways, the book also presents current challenges of the VPET system along with possible future development steps.
