European Vocational Teacher Survey (EVTS)

The EVTS aims to fill this gap by providing new evidence on the opportunities, experiences, challenges and other factors affecting the CPD of teachers working in initial VET schools, at ISCED level 3, across EU Member States.

EVTS project will inform the evidence needed to design better policies in Europe to support high-quality, accessible professional development for VET teachers.

Five key questions driving our research:

• Skills development: How do VET teachers across Europe improve their skills and grow professionally?
• What works best: Which professional development activities are most effective?
• Closing the gaps: What skills do VET teachers need, especially in digital, green, and inclusive education?
• Job satisfaction: Are VET teachers happy with their schools, jobs and working conditions
• Career appeal: Is VET teaching attractive, and do teachers get adequate career support?
