Matching vocational education and training (VET)
competencies with actual labour market demands
is an increasing challenge for European VET systems.
This requires innovation in national VET systems and
sets new tasks for public administrations that are
responsible for the implementation of the VET systems.
The aim of the research is to study the opinion
of relevant stakeholders regarding innovation in VET
provision. Textual analysis and expert survey among
various stakeholders have been carried out. Conclusion
has been drawn that experts and social partners
express increasing awareness regarding the need of
VET innovation. This requires continued research,
especially on the interests and motivaiton of the involved
parties.
