Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Education, Skills, and Employability is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access platform dedicated to advancing research, policy, and practice on the intersections between education, skills development, and employability in the 21st-century global economy. It serves as a forum for scholars, educators, industry practitioners, training institutions, policymakers, and development organizations to exchange insights on how education systems, vocational training, and lifelong learning initiatives can foster employability, entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment.

The journal welcomes high-quality empirical, theoretical, and policy-oriented contributions focusing on school-to-work transitions, labor market relevance of education, skills mismatches, vocational and technical education, entrepreneurship education, digital skills, and workforce development in diverse contexts, including developed, emerging, and low-income economies. Interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives are particularly encouraged.

Typical manuscripts are between 6,000–8,000 words with a concise abstract of up to 200 words. All submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review. The journal follows a zero-plagiarism policy and requires a plagiarism report at the time of submission.

Its readership includes academics, education administrators, vocational trainers, corporate HR managers, labor economists, policymakers, and NGOs engaged in skills development and employment promotion.

The Journal aims to:

  • Promote evidence-based research on aligning education systems and skills training with evolving labor market demands.
  • Advance understanding of policies and interventions that enhance employability and economic participation for diverse populations.
  • Highlight innovative pedagogical approaches, curriculum models, and partnerships between education and industry.
  • Provide a forum for discussing the role of lifelong learning, digital transformation, and future-of-work trends in skills development.
