520 |a Vocational education transforms the lives of its students and offers them opportunities they would otherwise not have. Vocational education teachers and institutions support students and contribute to their communities, regions and industries, often in spite of, and not because of, funding and government policies. This book argues that a new 'social settlement' is needed in vocational education, one which is based on a broader understanding of occupations and preparation for work. It argues for more expansive understandings of the purposes of vocational education which includes support for human flourishing, social justice, social inclusion, and sustainability.
