On the second day the topic of the discussion was about the role of public authorities in VET, which was followed by the plant visit at the company RECOM SID S.A., which plays an important role in strengthening vocational training in Romania and in Hunedoara county. The final day was dedicated to the summary of experiences.

For us, the Romanian partners of the Learning by Doing project was a great honor to host this international study visit,(May 2017) and we are gladto share with our partners all the lessons learned during the process of reforming our TVET system, by promoting the Work Based Learning approach!

This was a great opportunity to give a concrete overview about the newly developed dual professional school, based on the contractual cooperation between the most innovative VET schools, as Transilvania HTechical Highschool from Deva and C.Bursan from Hunedoara and Their partner companies DHS Deva snd RECOMSID SA Hunedoara. 

The local cooperation will be supported by the leading role of the Hunedoara Chamber of Commerce and Industry, while the methodological support for the developments and the multiplication at national level will be ensured by the National Centre for TVET Development.

The local partnership is ready to pilot the newest tools for a better matching between the demand of the labor market and VET supply, as a solid contribution to the creation of the  Danube Region Observatory for WBL.
