This year, teams from eight countries – Benin, Chile, Costa Rica, Micronesia, Nepal, Serbia, and South Africa, plus US states (California, Colorado, Indiana, New York City, and Washington DC) – attended the CEMETS Summer Institute from June 26 – July 5 in Zurich. The goal of this education policy reform lab is to learn from a strong VET system, understand what makes some VET systems strong, and to work together on each team's plans to improve their own VET systems.

Congratulations to Orrian Willis and Krysti Specht, who are the 2019 Stratton Fellows. This fellowship is a scholarship for them to attend the 2019 CEMETS Summer Institute as part of the California team.
