OECON Group participates in the Forum on Vocational Excellence 2025

OECON Group had the pleasure of participating in the Forum on Vocational Excellence 2025, held in Kolding, Denmark, from 8 to 10 September.
This high-level European event brought together key stakeholders in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) from across Europe, aiming to promote excellence, innovation, and cross-sectoral collaboration.

During the Forum, our team had the opportunity to:

🔹 Present our two Centres of Vocational Excellence (CoVEs) projects, focused on hospitality management and fashion design, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, policy reform, and the twin transition (green and digital).
🔹 Participate in thematic workshops and sessions addressing key challenges in the VET sector, such as digital transformation, green entrepreneurship, social inclusion, and the long-term sustainability of CoVEs beyond EU funding.
🔹 Exchange best practices and experiences with fellow CoVEs and stakeholders from all over Europe, enhancing international cooperation and bridging the gap between education, innovation, and industry needs.
🔹 Join study visits to Danish VET institutions and Centres of Vocational Excellence, gaining first-hand insight into how sustainable and digital educational practices are being implemented on the ground.

Our participation in the Forum reinforces our strategic commitment to:

✔ Promoting innovation and sustainability in vocational training
✔ Developing green and digital skills
✔ Bridging the gap between education and industry
✔ Building international networks and partnerships

➡ Through initiatives such as the Forum on Vocational Excellence, we continue to support the transition toward a more resilient, innovative, and green VET ecosystem in Europe.
