This book discusses what constitutes vocational education as well
as its key purposes, objects, formation and practices. In short, it
seeks to outline and elaborate the nature of the project of
vocational education. It addresses a significant gap in the
available literature by providing a single text that elaborates the
scope and diversity of the sector, its key objectives (i.e.
vocations and occupations), its formation and development as an
education sector, and the scope of its purposes and considerations
in the curriculum. The volume achieves these objectives by
discussing and defining the concept of vocational education as
being that form of education that seeks to advise individuals
about, prepare them for, and further develop their capacities to
perform the kinds of occupations that societies require and
individuals need to participate in-and through which they often
come to define themselves. In particular, it discusses the
distinctions between occupations as a largely social fact and
vocations as being a socially shaped outcome assented to by
individuals. As people identify closely with the kinds of
occupations they engage in, the standing of, and the effectiveness
of vocational education is central to individuals' well-being,
competence and progress. Ultimately, this book argues that the
provision of vocational education needs to realise important
personal and social goals.
