Vocational consultants play a crucial role in Vocational Education and Training (VET).
Vocational consultants are gearwheels and information hubs in dual VET systems.
VET consultants connect VET colleges with training companies, and the students with both of them.
This involves several substantial tasks, and VET consultants perform all or some of these tasks.
The titles, positions and precise job descriptions of VET consultants may differ, not only between
different European countries and VET systems, but also nationally between the trades and between
their organizations.
This is true for all of them: communication is crucial. These experts must be able to meet their target
groups in various ways and via a range of channels. This also means applying new virtual platforms
and media, as they emerge.
