Abstract

The paper aims at discussing the governance of vocational teacher training based on partnership and cooperation with different stakeholders and its implementation within the Erasmus+ Capacity Building in Higher Education project carried out in Ukraine. The problem of the weak linkage between vocational schools, universities that offer pre-service vocational teacher training and the employment sector is typical of the Ukrainian vocational teacher training. It causes discrepancies between expectations of vocational schools from young ongoing teachers and the competencies prospective teachers are equipped with at universities. Within the project four Ukrainian partner-universities developed different concepts for improving the relevance and quality of provided pre-service teacher education by implementing mechanisms of "collaborative" governance and partnerships, which involves different stakeholders in teaching, content defining and quality monitoring processes. The initial implementation of these models offers solutions to above-mentioned problems in vocational teacher training. © HEAd 2022. All Rights Reserved.
