Short description
This short description contributes to a better understanding of vocational education and training (VET) in Croatia by providing insights into its main features and highlighting system developments and current challenges in recent years. The Croatian presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2020 focuses on teachers and trainers who are at the heart of all developmental and reform processes, as promoters and enablers of the new skills needed for the future.

In particular, the article analyses different aspects of exogenous factors influencing the mobility of apprentices at the upper secondary level, the link between the apprenticeship scheme design and the apprentices’ mobility, as well as lessons learnt from the existing policies and initiatives of apprentices’ mobility.
Country report: Croatia
Since 2013, when the Act on the Croatian Qualification Framework (CROQF) was
established, validation is being incorporated in many strategic documents which
would imply that on a system level, validation has gained in significance. The
developments in the last five years are slowly, but steadily, setting the scene for the
development of the validation framework.
Improving apprenticeships through stronger support and care
This publication is the final report of Cedefop’s thematic country review of apprenticeship in Croatia. The review took place between January 2017 and June 2018 at the request of the Ministry of Science and Education of Croatia. It examined the unified model of education (jedinstveni model obrazovanja) three-year programmes for trades and crafts (CROQF level 4.1). The report presents key findings and suggestions for action to improve and further develop the model in line with the curriculum reform and labour market needs.

The national reports developed by ReferNet partners reflect efforts done by
Member States to reach vulnerable groups affected by unemployment and
inactivity and help them reengage in learning and employment. The reports refer,
in particular, to measures which may include young adults not in employment,
education or training (NEET) and adults undergoing long term unemployment
(LTU), given their persistence in many countries and the high challenges these
groups face.
