We are proud that our colleague, Dr Danijela Manić, participated in the EVTA Annual Policy Forum in Brussels!
At this important event, held within the Lifelong Learning Platform – European Civil Society for Education and European Education Week 2025 at the EESC, discussions focused on the future of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe. Our representative presented the key findings of the Policy Development Group on how to make VET more attractive and internationally connected.
Key messages:
- Recognition drives attractiveness – mobility only has real value when skills gained abroad are automatically recognized at home.
- The messenger matters – alumni, teachers, and employers have a greater impact on VET perceptions than institutions alone.
We advocate for EU-wide mobility with automatic recognition and long-term funding, so that international VET experiences become the rule rather than the exception.
Bravo to EVTA and thank you to our colleague for her excellent contribution!
Together in VET, for stronger and more connected education across Europe.
