Abstract	This paper presents first empirical evidence from the pilot phase of the Cedefop European Vocational Teacher Survey (EVTS), the first EU-wide survey examining experiences, working conditions and professional development of teachers in initial vocational education and training (IVET). Drawing on responses from 735 teachers across 23 EU Member States, the analysis identifies key factors shaping professional learning and wellbeing. Findings point to a profession under growing strain, marked by heavy workloads, limited recognition and heightened risks of burnout. Teachers report rising expectations linked to classroom diversity, digitalisation, the green transition and stronger cooperation with workplaces. Professional development is driven less by formal training alone and more by informal and self-directed learning, supportive organisational environments, favourable working conditions and a sense of professional accomplishment. By shedding light on everyday realities of VET teachers, the EVTS demonstrates strong potential to inform EU and national policies aimed at strengthening and sustaining the teaching profession.
