Description
The Programme Operator is organising a two-day study trip for representatives of the Czech regional authorities which is to help them learn about the system of dual vocational education and training in Liechtenstein.
Two places of learning (therefore, the term “dual”) arrangement has a long tradition in Liechtenstein and applies to most professions, from cooks to clerks and designers. Student apprentices learn theoretical content at school, but practical training (learning by doing) at a company predominates in their education. Students are thus well prepared for the changing demands and needs
