The research project "Short- and long-term impacts of Covid-19 on VET: Strengthening VET in times of crises" aims at investigating the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on dual vocational education and training in Switzerland. We will focus on differences between occupational fields and regions regarding the training process, the demand and supply of apprenticeship positions and young people’s educational trajectories and labour market entry.

The research project, led by Dr. David Glauser (University of Bern, Department of Sociology of Education) and Prof. Dr. Irene Kriesi (Swiss Federal University of Vocational Education and Training, SFUVET) is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation as part of the National Research Program 80 (NRP80: Covid-19 in Society).
