Flexibility seems to be the core concept of economic and
educational change in our time. The promise of solutions to many
problems at the individual, institutional, and national level
evokes as much controversy as acclaim. This might be related to the
different perspectives of actors and researchers involved in
problem-solving in Vocational Education and Training (VET), where,
on the one hand, solutions should be sought in key qualifications
and transferability, in changing teaching and learning processes,
while, on the other, political, institutional, organisational, and
professional conditions are seen as the key interventions to build
a responsive workforce on the basis of a re-engineered VET system.
Consequently, flexibility in connection with vocational education
and training and the labour market has several divergent
connotations. In this volume, we treat flexibility as a system
characteristic of VET in analyzing key conditions for flexibility:
- economic context of VET and the organisational and institutional
design of VET; - educational tools and resources for the
flexibility of delivery and pathways at national level; - VET
professionals as promoters of flexibility, mobility, and
transferability. Systemic flexibility is seen as a promising
educational answer to hyper-innovation and changing economic
conditions in the emerging knowledge-based economy. Individuals,
local communities, and VET systems should be able to adapt
effectively to changing conditions in society, work, and labour
markets.
