Matching Education and Training to Employment: Practical Problems and Theoretical Solutions – Or the Other Way Round?

Abstract

This article aims to contrast various theoretical approaches on the coordination between education-and-training and employment with a set of practical solutions and policies. Adopting a broad view, we hope to discover several paths that allow us to illuminate solutions to practical as well as theoretical problems, or at least to outline trajectories for further analysis. The practical solutions and policies discussed focus on the Austrian experience.
