In this article, the author examines research into vocational education and training (VET) in the UK throughout the 60 years of the post-WWII period, with a particular focus on more recent decades. He notes the effect of the rising political, social and economic priority of VET during this period on research activity. Another development identified is the interdisciplinarity of VET research beyond the boundaries of educational studies, drawing on aspects of sociology, economics, philosophy, history and comparative education. Particularly significant developments have been: an attempt to understand the shortcomings of VET in the UK; extended comparisons with different VET systems across large parts of the world; detailed studies of how different occupations are pursued and their underlying relationship with VET; and studies dealing with how to make VET a more attractive career option for young people
