The VET sector faces various challenges in its course to progression: limited teamwork and exchange of good practices between VET institutions, low social recognition of VET graduation when compared with the regular school learning paths, lack of internationalization of VET institutions, trainers and trainees, difficulties of the VET institutions in implementing quality monitoring mechanisms like EQAVET, outdating knowledge of VET trainers, etc.
The main mechanism for the exchange of good practices within the network will be the “12VETFest Plan”, a set of 12 VET good practices that schools should implement during the school year. These will contribute not only to the improvement of VET quality but also to increase its impact on learners and external stakeholders
