InclusiVET policy recommendations

For a Comprehensive and Inclusive Engagement of VET Learners

The InclusiVET consortium has converted project findings into a Policy Recommendations aimed at promoting inclusive learner engagement in the Vocational Education & Training  (VET) sector. The Policy Recommendations feature core concepts and findings, along with specific recommendations for the VET sector.

VET institutions, known for their practical orientation, are attracting learners from non-traditional and underrepresented groups in increasing numbers. To ensure inclusivity, they must adapt to the diverse needs of their entire learner population, leaving no-one behind. 

The InclusiVET Policy Recommendations address the largely overlooked dimension of inclusive learner engagement within Vocational Education & Training (VET). Recognising that true inclusion extends beyond the classroom, the InclusiVET project has identified significant gaps in equitable access to broader engagement opportunities – particulalry for learners from non-traditional backgrounds.

Activism, involvement in decision-making, and participation in student organisations are crucial for learner development but remain inaccessible to many. These recommendations respond to those challenges by focusing on this vital, yet frequently overlooked, dimension of inclusive learner engagement within VET.
