Why is it important?
Refugee and migrant students who are new to a system of VET and employment need different approaches to support their learning through integration of the curriculum delivered in the classroom and that offered in practice settings in the workplaces.
Perspectives
We collaborated on a study on integration of learning practices in different nations and VET systems and realised that refugee and migrant students were a group that needed different kinds of support. A normative approach does not fully address their learning needs. Our findings can be helpful for VET teachers and institutions to customise some of the learning support for their students.
