So far, no international large-scale assessment data has been available for VET. The PIAAC data comprise the most comprehensive source of information on adults skills to date. The present study (N=50 369) focuses on gaining insight into the problem-solving skills in TREs of adults with a VET background. When examining the similarities and differences in VET adults problem-solving skills in TREs across 11 European countries, two main trends can be observed. First, our results show that only a minority of VET adults perform at a high level. Second, there seems to be substantial variation between countries with respect to the proportion of VET adults that can be identified as at-risk or weak performers. For the future, our findings indicate the variations that can be used as a starting point to identify beneficial VET approaches.deAdults with vocational education and trainingLarge-scale assessmentPIAACTechnology-rich environmentsProblem-solvingWorkplace skills370Text::Zeitschrift::Wissenschaftlicher Artikelurn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00103982-18
