Join Skills Finland's international online webinar on 17 May

Skills Finland is an innovator in the global skills community, so an opportunity to catch up with their latest thinking is not to be missed.

A free online international webinar with a program of speakers will be part of the Finnish national skills competition Taitaja2022 Pori in May.

The webinar will discuss the role of vocation education and training within the wider skills ecosystem, under the theme “Towards Vocational Excellence and Global Competence.”

The seminar will address two questions:

• Could VET and vocational excellence be an integral part of skills ecosystems, contributing to regional development and innovation?
