Abstract
A changing society needs multiple mechanisms of action and intervention that encourages the development of skills and the subsequent process of prosperity of nation and social justice. Vocational distance training plays an important role in promoting skills and solving problems as the lack of specialized professionals or the need for retraining or upgrading assets. We advocate that educational research has an important contribution in the analysis of continuing vocational distance training and its strategic design. In this sense, within this article we developed a study review published in RCAAP (Scientific Open Access Repository of Portugal) between 2000 and 2015, seeking to understand the number, type and other characteristics of the studies focused on continuing vocational distance training. The analysis focused on a total of 60 studies leading to an academic degree seeking to highlight the main conclusions and investigative trends in this area and also main recommendations shared by researchers.
