VET teachers play a key role in introducing and connecting students to learning environments of specific workplaces, and in helping students to consolidate learning in schools with learning in the workplace. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe and analyze the role played by VET teachers in their work with the students’ work-based learning (WBL). The empirical study builds on cases from three of the twelve national vocational programmes in Sweden: Building and Construction, Child and Recreation, and Handicraft. The study consists of 15 interviews with teachers from these programmes. The result shows that depending on to what extent the school or the physical classroom has similarities to the workplace, the VET teacher uses examples from the workplace differently in his or her teaching. The analysis shows two different enactments in how VET teachers talk about creating continuity between school and work.
