INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER OF DUAL MOD - National Recontextualization and Local Enactment

This volume looks at the recontextualization that results from the international transfer of dual modes of vocational education and training (VET), typically focused on apprenticeships, in their countries' new nation-specific and local context, highlighting the absorptive capacities and the different modes of duality in VET.
