Abstract

Sweden has successfully built social partners’ engagement in vocational education and training (VET) at the national level, but social partners’ involvement at the local level varies affecting the quality of education and training provision. The chapter argues that Sweden may create a framework for systematic social partner involvement at the local level. The chapter discusses college initiatives that are led by social partners and drive local provision towards specific skills requirements, often in response to labour shortages. It argues that Sweden can strengthen social partners’ involvement by drawing on this positive experience.
