In this issue, an exclusive interview with European Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility Marianne Thyssen during her first visit to Cedefop.
This is my first newsletter as the new secretary of ESREA. I hope you will find it interesting. 2016 is a special year with the Triennial Conference in Maynooth, Ireland where we will celebrate that the idea of ESREA was born 25 years ago. ESREA also have a new logo. Thus, there are lots of things to commemorate as we proceed with promoting research on the education of adults in Europe and beyond:
The DISCUSS project we will be hold a webinar next week, and below you will find a short description of the topic and how to register. The topic I hope may be of interest, but also the experience of seeing how a webinar works may be of interest and something that you might want to incorporate into your practice.
We are pleased to announce that CR&DALL director, Professor Michael Osborne has agreed to become a member of the Scientific Committee of Revista de Educación a Distancia (RED).
As a professional researcher or expert on Vocational Education and Training, you might be interested in our new English newsletter which reports on Céreq ongoing studies and recent publications.
Vocational education and training (VET) can help attract young people with different abilities and learning backgrounds to education. It also plays a decisive role in retaining them in the education system or reintegrating them after a drop-out experience.
Recent datasets contain a wealth of qualitative information on young school leavers’ and returners’ trajectories and their individual motives: What type of education/training programme have they left, and why? How many of them return to education? How many choose VET pathways? And how many graduate eventually?
I’m very glad to announce that the fourth book in ESREA book series now is published, Working and Learning in Times of Uncertainty. Challenges to Adult, Professional and Vocational Education. This book is edited by the network conveners for ESREA research network for Working Life and Learning, Sandra Bholinger, Ulrika Haake, Christian Helms Jørgensen, Hanna Toiviainen and Andreas Wallo.
