Vocational Education and Training (VET), a key subset of formal education, bridges the gap between academic knowledge and the practical skills demanded by the job market. The PISA-VET initiative, led by the OECD, introduces a novel framework for assessing occupation-specific skills and employability competencies in five targeted vocational domains. This paper explores the potential of PISA-VET to drive meaningful reforms and foster international collaboration in vocational education.
