Ukraine: Vocational training with dual elements as an educational pathway

Before the war began, Ukraine was already in the process of strengthening its vocational education and training system by introducing dual elements into its training programmes. Although occupational standards have been introduced as the basis for the development of educational standards, curricula and teaching and learning materials, their development and management have not yet been integrated at system level. The VET partnership project aims to build on the successes already achieved and establish vocational education and training with dual elements as an educational pathway in the partner vocational schools in four project regions in western Ukraine. In the second phase of the BBP project, the cooperation is to be extended to the Ternopil region and a further vocational school. The project will therefore work with a total of seven vocational schools in four project regions in western Ukraine (Lviv, Volhynia, Ivano-Frankivsk and Ternopil).
