Digitalisation in VET and work-based learning is more successful if:

 technology is part of a wider digital strategy, supported by adequate
technological means
 public and private partnerships are established to define a vision and get

funding for the introduction of technologies
 facilities and equipment are flexible enough so they can incorporate new
technologies, preventing them from becoming obsolete

 formal and non-formal learning include technologies that do not require
special literacy (e.g., videos and podcasts)
 teachers and trainers adapt learning materials for delivery through ICT

Although COVID-19 increased the overall digitalisation of society, countries are
in different stages of the digital transition, some implementing it in a more
gradual way than others. Independently of the stage a country is in, the
digitalisation of VET must be consistent among VET systems and an essential
topic on the employer-VET engagement.
