As a key VET stakeholder in Sweden, NHI is committed to advancing the quality of VET and adult education, modernizing VET curricula, developing and adopting VET qualification standards.
NHI believes that skills development is critical to social integration and economic development, which in turn helps to reduce poverty in the long-term. Vocational Education and Training (VET) equips young people to become effective wage-earners or entrepreneurs and boosts their long-term employability.
Our aim is to enhance innovation processes mainly in the
areas of lifelong learning, human capital development, labour markets and
social inclusion in a local, national and European context. Our research teams
specialize in the implementation of social research in the fields of social
inclusion, human rights, active citizenship, the transformative effects of the
new media technologies and other topics important for our society.
