Journal of Education and Work is an international forum for academic research and policy analysis which focuses on the interplay of education and economic systems.
The journal examines how knowledge, skills, values and attitudes both about and for work and employment are developed within the education system. The journal also explores the various forms of industrial training and accreditation in the economic system, including changes in the economic and industrial infrastructure which influence the type of employees required. Work in the informal economy is also included.
Journal of Education and Work has a particular interest in comparative studies of skill formation and especially the transition from education to employment, how this process is structured and managed, and its effects on young people, schools, colleges, universities and employers.
The journal publishes interdisciplinary papers which reflect the multifaceted nature of the journal’s concerns. Articles are welcome from economists, psychologists, sociologists, educationalists, and policy analysts. The journal publishes case studies from practitioners which present innovation grounded in relevant literature and debate.
"There are very few if any journals of the field of vocational education and training (broadly defined) that can match the consistent quality and relevance of content attained by the Journal of Education and Work"

"The Journal of Education and Work ( JEW) is a crucial academic resource for scholars and students worldwide in the fields of ‘educational sociology’, the ‘sociology of work’ and ‘vocational education and training’. Most importantly, JEW attempts more than other journals in cognate fields to develop new theoretical understandings of the linkage between education, skills development, labour markets and the economy in differing national contexts."
- Dr Andre Kraak, Executive Director, Research Programme on Human Resources Development (HRD), South Africa
The Journal of Education and Work fills a crucial niche in scholarship and should get ISI recognition. In the globalized economy, the relation between education and work is becoming even more central to public policy than before, and increasing numbers of economists, sociologists, educators and work organization specialists are researching and interested in research about this relationship. The Journal itself is top-flight and is attracting interesting and high quality articles .
