Toolbox Library – VETCompass

Toolbox Library

The VET Compass Toolbox Library supports VET teachers, trainers, staff and leaders to strengthen the transversal skills that help learners succeed in vocational education, work-based learning and employment.

It brings together a collection of practical, high-quality resources for continuous professional development across the VET sector, focused on the skills teachers and trainers need to create inclusive, engaging and workplace-relevant learning experiences. The full library will hold over 50 resources organised around 10 key transversal skills identified through the VET Compass research process — a mix of best-practice case studies, open educational resources, and practical tools and curricula.
