Description
Summary:Austria, Germany, and Switzerland are increasingly relying on hybridization at the nexus of vocational training and higher education to increase permeability and reform their highly praised systems of collective skill formation. This historical and organizational institutionalist study compares these countries to trace the evolution of their skill regimes from the 1960s to today's era of Europeanization, focusing especially on the impact of the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.
Die Dissertation behandelt die Herausforderungen, mit denen das deutsche, das österreichische und das schweizerische Bildungssystem konfrontiert sind, und beschreibt die Folgen für die institutionelle Durchlässigkeit zwischen beruflicher Bildung und Hochschulbildung. Beiträge zur Hochschulforschung 2/2014 Graf's contribution can be seen as a unique with its longitudinal analysis of system dynamics of those two sectors in the context of European integration processes. At a time where skills, qualifications and parity of esteem between HE and VET have become frequently stated in the policy agenda, improved understanding of the relationship between these two sectors is both timely and necessary.
