VPET research

VPET research examines various aspects of the Swiss system of upper-secondary vocational education and training (VET) and tertiary professional education to gain insights for evidence-based development and management of the Swiss VPET system.

Leading Houses

Leading Houses can help to consolidate VPET research in Switzerland. Each Leading House operates as a long-term competence network, affiliated with one or more academic chairs at Swiss higher education institutions. Its mandate is set out in a performance agreement with SERI.

Individual projects in VPET research

SERI funds individual projects to provide short-term answers to specific research questions on innovative and unique aspects of upper-secondary vocational education and training (VET) and tertiary professional education. These projects address VPET topics not already covered by a Leading House.
