CPI - supporting VET in Slovenia

We are aware that knowledge and lifelong learning are key factors for future generations throughout their working lives. VET and non-formal education will be at the forefront in the second half of 2021 at the European Week of Vocational Skills within the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU.

Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Vocational Education and Training (CPI) has been established to lead and coordinate the development of upper secondary Vocational Education and Training (VET), which is based on social partnership between the Government, employers and employees.

»The right combination of knowledge, competencies and skills is crucial for the success of an individual. To understand and live the concept of lifelong learning is a prerequisite for the society of the future.«

Simona Kustec, PhD, Minister of Education, Science and Sport

CPI strives to promote VET and encourage young people for occupations that will make it easier for them to find employment. With their knowledge and professional skills, the young talents from Slovenia successufully compete with other young talents at the national (SloveniaSkills) and European (EuroSkills) competitions in professional skills. At the national and international level, Slovenia supports excellence and achievements in the field of VET, also by signing the Pact for Skills. We support local and regional growth strategies as we are aware of the importance of mutual cooperation of all relevant stakeholders.
