The project worth EUR 700 thousand will be implemented by the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Vocational Education and Training and will receive EUR 560 thousand of European Social Fund support.
The project seeks to enhance the attractiveness and competitiveness of vocational education and training through promotional activities such as presentations of professions and schools, through competitions, advertising, and other activities to improve the reputation and recognition of vocational education and training.
