Abstract

The report examines the current state and challenges of vocational education in the transport and energy sectors. It analyzes the need for modernization through project-based learning, digital transformation, and team-based learning, which have been proven to enhance outcomes and prepare learners for Industry 4.0. The report presents international practices in dual education and effective models of partnerships between education and industry. Finally, it outlines the main barriers—institutional, resource-related, social, and those stemming from resistance to change—that hinder the widespread implementation of innovative approaches.
