Regarding events, Croatia has hosted the second national conference on quality assurance in VET, and Italy has organised an international conference on ‘Quality Assurance in VET for sustainable competitiveness, social fairness, and resilience‘. Slovakia has also launched their own Festival of Skills 2023, which took place in September and focused on promoting skills. Poland hosted a series of three online conferences on industry with the aim of promoting vocational education and employer-school collaborations. Furthermore, Greece hosted an international webinar on the development of their new quality assurance methodology and the presentation of its pilot implementation results. Finally, when it comes to publications, Latvia is continuing to support VET institutions by developing an online handbook for supporting VET providers for the introduction of a quality system in their schools. The Netherlands has published a research report on graduates with three case studies exploring the different ways in which alumni are tracked.
