This study examines the way in which institutional arrangements for the delivery of IVET have changed in response to shifts in skills demand.
Although these arrangements vary across countries, it is possible to identify common trends over time, such as institutional hybridisation, the blurring of boundaries between IVET and general education. Despite this development, IVET has been able to retain a distinct identity, which is attractive to learners and has the support of key labour market actors. This reflects IVET’s adaptability and resilience in the face of change.
Building on a Europe-wide survey of VET providers and in-depth national case studies, the study delivers a timely update of, and insight into, the continually changing IVET landscape. Results show increasing similarities in how countries configure their IVET systems. This is evident in the broadening of IVET curricula, the prominence given to the work-based learning pathway, as well as the growing importance attached to local and regional autonomy.
The analysis provided in this publication shows that not all digital skills will be equally important in the future. In fact, occupations which we are more certain will have poor prospects, are more likely to require a digital skill than the occupations that are most likely to grow by 2030. This is because the relationship between the digital intensity of an occupation and its potential for growth is not straightforward: there are occupations that are currently not digitally intensive, but are expected to grow in the next 10-15 years, as varied as teachers and chefs. The type of digital skills needed in a job also makes a difference: the digital skills most likely to be needed in growing occupations are ones that are used in non-routine tasks, problem-solving and the creation of digital outputs. This is exploratory analysis that takes a novel approach.
This year’s census findings tell the story of those in education, work and seeking work just as the landscape is set to change in an unprecedented way.
The research begins by outlining the distinctive characteristics of the ITPs in the UK which enable them to respond to government priorities. Examples of the successes and challenges that UK ITPs face are presented through mini case studies. Further on, the research examines the role of the ITPs in six countries – Botswana, South Africa, Uganda, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka and the different models they operate within.
This research aims to prompt national policy makers to consider whether they are making the best use of ITPs by highlighting their distinct characteristics that make them suitable and effective in delivering government skills objectives. It also aims to raise awareness among ITPs about the work undertaken by counterpart organisations in other countries and to encourage international collaboration.
Delivered by Skills Development Scotland (SDS), the national skills agency, along with a wide range of local and national partners, Scottish Careers Week will feature events and activities to help people of all ages explore, understand and manage their career choices, and the services and resources available to support them.
The week is also building on the success of the first campaign in 2021 to showcase job opportunities across Scotland’s industries. Employers and organisations across key Scottish sectors are planning events and resources for the week to provide career inspiration to attract future and current talent to their industries.

If you’d like to deliver activity during the week, visit My World of Work and read our ‘Get Involved' toolkit for ideas.
As part of this week, we are also holding 2 sessions with the UK Career Development Institute – a session to promote the benefits of CDI membership for practitioners in national service and further education sector, and a session promoting a career as a Career Adviser to increase interest in the profession and seek to increase diversity.
