The activity, which consisted of three working days, firstly provided participants with an insight into the education and training system of students in companies in the neighboring area. After that the topics of the labor market were discussed at the joint workshop, in particular the employment of graduates and the use of European frameworks and systems, such as the EQF and ECVET, which enable dialogue and can facilitate cross-border cooperation in vocational education and training.
In the course of the day, the testimonies of the students participating in learning mobility were presented, as well as an in-depth discussion from companies with mixed personel, that accepted the practical training of students from both the Slovenian and Italian sides.
