Download or read book Vocational Training in Spain written by Cándido Genovard and published by Berlin : European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training. This book was released on 1987 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vocational training in Spain suffers from a fundamental initial disadvantage, namely the subsidiary position that it occupies in the general structure of the country's educational system. The situation has been aggravated by the sector's relative neglect by the government, which has been forced to concentrate its efforts on secondary and university education as a result of the rapid population growth that occurred throughout the 1970s. The remainder of society is also rather uninterested in vocational training and views it primarily as the educational option for those who do not successfully complete their elementary education. The general attitude from industry is that vocational education does not provide adequate preparation for today's jobs and that its content is not geared toward meeting industry's needs. More than once, the government has recognized the need for closer cooperation with the employment sector in planning course content and developing occupational profiles to guide vocational training. In general, however, the lack of labor planning and clear employment forecasts have allowed vocational education to continue concentrating on sectors of the job market that are currently saturated and to give inadequate attention to sectors that are currently expanding or of vital importance to the economy. As in academic education, theory is given preeminence over practice in vocational training. The lack of teaching resources appropriate to preparation for the contemporary world of work is another of the problems inherent in the vocational education system. Closer links between vocational education and industry are difficult to establish since the formal vocational training system begins at age 14, which is two years before youth can legally hold jobs. A map of Europe and two diagrams are provided in color; tables, figures, and a bibliography are also included. (MN)

Book excerpt: The present publication offers a brief description of the Spanish vocational training system and its radical overhaul since the early 1990s. Particular attention had been paid to its three subsystems : regulated vocational training, which reflects the impact of reforms introduced by the General Law on the Education System of 1990, now well advanced, occupational training for the unemployed, and continuing training for those in employment following the recent signature of the third national and tripartite agreements. Other aspects, such as funding, the training of teachers and trainers, and the career information and guidance system are also dealt with. A brief section covers the decentralisation of the vocational training system now underway, as part of the devolution of powers from central government to the autonomous communities. The review ends with a chapter on current trends in, and the outlook for, vocational training. The document shows how the Spanish vocational training system is seeking to adjust to the new economic and social context in Europe.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Context: Vocational education and training (VET) has become a key issue in today's highly dynamic business, technological and economic environment, with a complex diversity of systems within the European Union. This paper aims to study the implementation of dual VET in Spain, focusing on the working conditions of company tutors in the tourism sector of Andalusia and the Canary Islands. Approach: Dual VET has been implemented in different ways, both between the different autonomous regions and professional areas since it was launched in 2012. In order to analyse these differences, interviews with teachers, head teachers, students and company tutors were carried out, between 2020 and 2021, in centres that had implemented dual vocational education training and centres that had not. The educational programme in dual VET implies a closer collaboration between schools and companies, as both are active training areas; the training objectives are shared between the school and the company. ...

Download or read book Vocational Education and Training in Times of Economic Crisis written by Matthias Pilz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a broad range of approaches and methodologies relevant to international comparative vocational education and training (VET). Revealing how youth in transition is affected by economic crises, it provides essential insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the various systems and prospects of VET in contexts ranging from North America to Europe, (e.g. Spain, Germany or the UK) to Asia (such as China, Thailand and India). Though each country examined in this volume is affected by the economic crisis in a different way, the effects are especially apparent for the young generation. In many countries the youth unemployment rate is still very high and the job perspectives for young people are often limited at best. The contributions in this volume demonstrate that VET alone cannot solve these problems, but can be used to support a smooth transition from school to work. If the quality of VET is high and the status and job expectations are good, VET can help to fill the skills gap, especially at the intermediate skill level. Furthermore, VET can also offer a realistic alternative to the university track for young people in many countries.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes and analyzes the situation of nonformal learning in Spain. Chapter 1 describes the Spanish context by looking at qualification as the point of departure; recent changes in the industrial fabric of Spain and the birth of a new social and institutional view of qualification; the reform of vocational education and training; informal learning in Spain; and the status of work experience in the social debate. Chapter 2 describes and analyzes the schemes and initiatives set up to identify, recognize, and establish the role played by nonformal learning in the social process of constructing qualifications. Five areas in which nonformal learning is recognized and assessed are addressed: the role played by nonformal learning in public employment policies; the status given to nonformal learning by the education authorities, provisions for access to the formal education system, and the scope for recognition of nonformal qualifications; the new national system of qualifications and the creation of the national institute for qualifications; certificates of occupational proficiency; and recognition of nonformal learning within the field of collective bargaining. Chapter 3 considers the direction in which recognition of work-based learning will move, including certificates of occupational proficiency and vocational titles. Chapter 4 draws conclusions.
