The trend monitoring activities of the Swiss Observatory for Vocational Education and Training (OBS SFUVET) show correlations between current VET megatrends and key aspects of the VET system.

OBS SFUVET researchers follow a multi-step systematic procedure to analyse scientific and specialist documents and parliamentary proceedings in order to identify trends and potential challenges affecting VET. This gives rise to further questions and enables identification of trend topics that can be explored in greater depth. Publications, conferences and workshops with specialists facilitate professional discussion and the further development of VET.
