Vocational Education and Training for a Global Economy investigates
the greatly varying ways in which four countries-Singapore,
Switzerland, China, and the United States-prepare young people for
the twenty-first-century workplace. The book looks first at the
highly successful vocational education and training (VET) systems
in Singapore and Switzerland, describing them in revealing detail
and accounting for the assumptions and social arrangements that
account for their unique features. It then turns to the two
largest-and arguably the most dynamic-nations in the world, China
and the United States, and examines the differing conditions,
goals, and arrangements that have affected their respective
programs for preparing their citizens for present and future work.
 At a time when a highly competitive global economy is
prompting profound changes in the workplace and in the skills
required for professional success, all countries feel a heightened
sense of urgency in finding ways to guide and prepare young people
for work. As this book makes clear, however, the resulting
preparatory systems within these four countries differ
dramatically-and for a wide range of economic, cultural, and
political reasons. Â A detailed and incisive look at VET
systems in the United States and abroad, Vocational Education and
Training for a Global Economy will be indispensable reading for all
who are concerned with preparing youth for today’s competitive
and demanding modern workplace.
