描述
This book presents International Specialised Skills Institute Fellowship applied research that investigates the Initial Teacher Education (ITE) of Vocational Education and Training (VET) teachers in Finland and Norway. It explores ITE pathways for industry professionals in Finland and Norway to understand how these countries are able to produce high-quality VET teachers for their upper secondary school sectors - where so many other countries cannot. This investigation was conducted as an applied pragmatic multi-method research project funded by the Victorian Skills Authority, Australia. It presents data, findings and recommendations, and argues for the introduction of comparable ITE pathways to produce a pipeline of high-quality VET secondary teachers to resource Australian VET school programs.
