CINOP, the Dutch NRP from the European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET) Network, recently published a research report providing guidelines, best practices and lessons learned on VET graduate tracking. The paper examines different ways in which alumni (both graduates and early school leavers) are tracked in the Netherlands and Luxembourg. The case studies examined graduate tracking on three different levels:

• national level;
• institutional level; and
• programme level.

A follow-up workshop on the design and outcomes of the three case studies was organised with Dutch VET stakeholders to discuss the lessons learned, and collectively examine how these case studies align with the participants' practical experiences. The valuable mix of roles and responsibilities among the participants facilitated the exchange of different perspectives and led to a meaningful dialogue on graduate tracking.
