| Summary: | Worldwide, Vocational Education and
Training (VET) is receiving increasing attention,
particularly as a potentially useful instrument to address
high unemployment rates among youth. In 2016, the World Bank
started providing technical assistance to the self
government of Poland’s Świętokrzyskie region, aimed at
strengthening the implementation of Work-Based Learning
(WBL) in technical schools. Through Work-Based Learning
(WBL), students develop essential skills by participating in
activities on enterprise premises, including onsite training
and particularly contributing to business operations. This
support was part of a formal program of collaboration
between the government of Poland, two regional self
governments, the European Commission (EC), and the World
Bank, with the aim to improve the impact of European Union
(EU) financing allocated to improve innovation, employment,
and economic growth in catching-up regions in Poland. As
part of this programme, the World Bank provided technical
assistance to the regional governments on a number of
priority areas as proposed by the regions. In the
Świętokrzyskie region, the regional government selected the
strengthening of the implementation of WBL in VET as one of
the priority areas. This report summarizes the main
activities, findings, and outcomes of the collaboration to
strengthen WBL in VET in Świętokrzyskie. |
