description Based on their dual professional identities, both as a professional and as a teacher, the VET teachers are well familiar with the working conditions in their vocational field and can therefore integrate these conditions into their teaching so that the students also can comprehend the prevailing working conditions. VET-teachers can thus be regarded as border workers between school and working life. In Swedish upper secondary vocational education, the VET teachers are responsible for following up, assessing and grading students’ vocational knowledge regardless of whether the education is carried out at a workplace or at school. Assessing and grading students’ knowledge in vocational subjects is the formal assessment assignment of VET teachers. In parallel VET teachers also make informal assessments based on their knowing of the conditions of work and workplaces that vary between different vocations and workplaces. The article highlights how VET teachers border work is manifested in assessment actions in the case of students’ transitions between school and workplaces based on studies of the Swedish upper secondary apprenticeship education.
