The focus on emerging industries, such as space and renewable energy, as well as the role of AI in the future job market, are essential topics for the future of education and career guidance. I was particularly inspired by the student involvement highlighted in Vamia’s workshop, showcasing how students actively contribute to shaping their school’s environment. The visit to local companies like Danfoss and Wärtsilä also highlights the strong career prospects in innovative industries. This is exactly the kind of attraction and retention power that the VET2Sustain project represents at its best. Looking forward to seeing how these discussions continue to impact the field of study counselling! #Opopäivät #CareerGuidance #Education #AI #VET2Sustain

Vocational Education and Training (VET) is a critical component of preparing individuals for working life. As the needs of the labour market evolve and change, education must also adapt.

Meanwhile we will confirm cooperation between VET providers, companies, chambers, national authorities, and other stakeholders by developing Joint VET qualifications. We create a strong future oriented European level network, that creates a vision, strategy and action plan with the goal of stronger cooperation in the future. The VET2Sustain partners gathered in Hannover on 8–9 October 2025 for a fruitful face-to-face meeting dedicated to strengthening the attractiveness and quality of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Europe.

Ammatillisen koulutuksen arvostuksen vahvistaminen on keskeistä, jotta Suomi pystyy vastaamaan tulevaisuuden työllisyys- ja osaamistarpeisiin. Tarvitaan koulutusta, joka on ajankohtaista, työelämälähtöistä ja kestävää – sekä nuoria että työmarkkinoita puhuttelevalla tavalla. Juuri tähän tarpeeseen vastaa VET2Sustain-hanke, jonka tavoitteena on lisätä ammatillisen koulutuksen pito- ja vetovoimaa sekä vahvistaa sen työelämärelevanssia. Hanke tuo yhteen koulutuksen järjestäjiä, asiantuntijoita ja työelämän edustajia kehittämään ammatillista koulutusta entistä laadukkaammaksi ja tulevaisuuskestäväksi. Ammatillisen koulutuksen tapahtumat ovat tärkeä osa sen näkyvyyden ja arvostuksen vahvistamista. Tammikuun 2025 lopulla vietettiin Suomessa ensimmäistä kertaa valtakunnallista Ammattiosaamisen päivää, joka tarjosi tilaisuuden tuoda esiin osaamista ja koulutuksen merkitystä eri näkökulmista.
Päivä viestii päättäjille, nuorille ja huoltajille siitä, että ammatillinen koulutus ei ole vaihtoehto toissijaisille, vaan väylä tulevaisuuden työelämän ytimeen. Omnia, yhtenä Suomen suurimmista ammatillisen koulutuksen järjestäjistä, oli aktiivisesti mukana päivän suunnittelussa ja toteutuksessa. Omnian kampuksilla järjestettiin työpajoja, asiantuntijaluentoja ja interaktiivisia aktiviteetteja, jotka houkuttelivat runsaasti osallistujia ja toivat esiin koulutuksen monipuolisuutta. Tapahtuma sai laajaa näkyvyyttä myös sosiaalisessa mediassa. VET2Sustain-hanke oli vahvasti mukana päivän sisällössä ja tapahtumissa, tuoden esiin koulutuksen kestävyyttä, työelämärelevanssia ja innovatiivisuutta. Samalla se tuki hankkeen tavoitetta vahvistaa ammatillisen koulutuksen näkyvyyttä ja kiinnostavuutta nuorten silmissä.
The purpose of the project is to develop cooperation between VET schools and working life in European countries. The idea is to find ways to promote employment and professional skills and competences in different European countries. Vocational education and training (VET) is a critical component of preparing individuals for working life. As the needs of the labour market evolve and change, VET must also adapt to ensure that it remains relevant and effective in preparing students for the future of work. We will improve the quality of VET practices based on the needs of the labour market. Meanwhile we will confirm cooperation between VET providers, companies, chambers, national authorities, and other stakeholders by developing Joint VET qualifications.
The purpose is to create a strong future-oriented European level network, that creates a vision, strategy and action plan with the goal of stronger cooperation in the future. A profound communication platform will be created for the new network. Our main objectives will be to increase the attractiveness of Vocational Education and Training (VET) in Europe and to create a strategic approach to maintain the high quality of VET and to ensure that... With our actions, that include a series of events (workshops and meetings) both nationally/regionally and internationally, we will directly reach 300+ students, 150+ work life representatives and numerous Vet teachers, policy makers and potential... We will also create an online platform for VET practitioners. Overall, VET must remain resilient, flexible and adaptable to ensure that it is meeting the needs of the changing labour market.
By focusing on digital skills, soft skills, lifelong learning, collaboration with employers, as well as diversity and inclusion, VET can prepare students for the jobs of the future. © Copyright 2020 by Samiedu. All Rights Reserved Etusivu : Hankkeet : Hankkeet : Digitaalisuus : VET2Sustain - Promoting sustainable, inclusive and digital Vocational Education and Training Tämän kansainvälisen hankkeen tavoitteena on vahvistaa ammatillisten oppilaitosten ja työelämän yhteistyötä Euroopan maissa. Uusien menetelmien avulla pyritään edistämään työllisyyttä sekä parantamaan ammatillisia taitoja ja pätevyyksiä.
Ammatillinen koulutus on avainasemassa yksilöiden työelämään valmentamisessa. Työmarkkinoiden muuttuessa koulutuksen on kehityttävä pysyäkseen relevanttina ja tehokkaana. Hanke parantaa ammatillisen koulutuksen käytäntöjä vastaamaan työelämän tarpeita ja vahvistaa yhteistyötä eri toimijoiden välillä. Tavoitteena on kehittää yhteisiä ammatillisia pätevyyksiä ja luoda vahva eurooppalainen verkosto tulevaisuuden yhteistyötä varten. Ammatillisen koulutuksen on pysyttävä ketteränä ja sopeuduttavana vastaamaan muuttuvien työmarkkinoiden tarpeisiin. Keskittymällä digitaalisiin taitoihin, pehmeisiin taitoihin, elinikäiseen oppimiseen, työnantajayhteistyöhön sekä monimuotoisuuteen ja osallisuuteen ammatillinen koulutus voi valmistaa opiskelijat tulevaisuuden työtehtäviin.
Official name of the project: VET2Sustain - Promoting Sustainable, Inclusive and Digital Vocational Education and Training Duration of the project: 1.11.2024 - 31.12.2026 Funding: European Commission; European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA) Anne-Mari Tornberg, Specialist, Learning Design (Design Centre MUOVA) Project website: https://vet2sustain.eu/ Koulutuskeskus Brahe on mukana VET2Sustain-hankkeessa, jossa toteutettiin kyselytutkimus ammatillisen koulutuksen vetovoimatekijöistä Euroopassa.
Tutkimukseen saatiin 160 vastausta 18 maasta. Tutkimuksen mukaan työelämäyhteydet ovat avainasemassa koulutuksen arvostuksen lisäämisessä. Ammattioppilaitosten hyvät työelämäyhteydet auttavat pitämään opetussuunnitelmat ajan tasalla ja harjoittelut tosielämän tilanteissa tarjoavat opiskelijoille käytännönläheistä oppimista sekä parantavat työelämävalmiuksia. Tuloksiin voit perehtyä suomekielisessä artikkelissa, johon on tiivistetty sen tulokset. Koko tutkimusraportin voit lukea täältä englanniksi. The project is funded by the European Union.
