In vocational education, June marks the completion of studies for final-year students and the final assessment of their knowledge and competencies. For students enrolled in dual qualifications across 10 vocational schools, the final assessment was conducted at company premises, completing an important cycle of their practical training journey.
To ensure the quality of this process, “Skills for Jobs” (S4J) provided technical support to 14 vocational schools across the country in planning and implementing the assessments, in line with curriculum requirements and international good practices.
Company mentors who had supervised and guided students throughout their workplace training were actively involved in the assessment committees, making the final examination a natural continuation of the students’ pathway towards professional qualification and employment.
A new feature introduced this year was the involvement of experienced teachers in a peer-learning process, sharing knowledge and practical experience with colleagues on organising final assessments in business environments.
