This event is brought to you by 国产视频 and the International Pathways Collaborative (IPC). IPC was formed in 2013 by a group of scholars who research vocational education policies and programs in different regions of the world, with a particular emphasis on the role that pathway approaches can support greater mobility for students. Goals of the Collaborative include expanding knowledge about pathways policies and programs, encouraging dialogue among researchers, policy analysts, and policymakers, and promoting research to ensure pathways result in equitable outcomes for all populations of learners.
