We talk about education and training programs a lot. What is a program? How do programs fit into education and training systems? How do states and countries align multiple curricula within a single program, and why should they want to? What is the difference between pathways, programs, and curricula?

When countries without strong VET systems start working toward better VET, there are always a few common threads to their initial hurdles. Education systems that only deal with general education usually have to face a few changes in expectations. These are the most common examples.

Dr. Ursula Renold traveled to Serbia in December 2017 to speak in parliament on the occasion of their new dual VET law passing. The law is the first in the region that meets standards for a dual VET system.
