🚀 Dual Vocational Education and Training: Turning potential into professional success!

We are pleased to share our new educational video on the power of Dual Vocational Education and Training (Dual VET) in Albania.

The video was created by OeAD – Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation, in cooperation with the National Agency for Vocational Education, Training and Qualifications (Agjencia Afp Dhe Kualifikimeve) and the National Agency for Employment and Skills (Agjencia Kombetare e Punesimit dhe Aftesive).

Dual VET brings students closer to the world of work by combining school-based learning with hands-on practical experience in companies. It supports young people in developing real professional skills, gaining workplace experience, and preparing for successful careers.

The video highlights the important roles of schools, employers, business relations coordinators, vocational teachers, mentors, and students — all working together to make vocational education more practical, relevant, and future-oriented.

💡 With Dual VET, students do not only learn about a profession — they experience it, practise it, and grow into it.

🎥 Watch the video and discover how Dual Vocational Education and Training helps transform passion into skills, and skills into career opportunities.

Girls’ Day 2026 📸 | Empowering futures, one opportunity at a time ✨

From a modest beginning in 2022 to a nationwide movement today, in continues to open doors for girls and young women in vocational education and training. This year marks the 5th consecutive edition, with 28 out of 30 VET schools across the country taking part — a powerful sign of progress and growing impact.

📍 Today’s moments come from Shkolla e Mesme Profesionale Hoteleri - Turizëm // Shkolla Hoteleriturizem, where talent, creativity, and ambition took center stage. Under the guidance of Director Elona Qehajaj, students showcased their skills in the inspiring competition “Fuqizimi i Vajzave përmes Kreativitetit dhe Mikpritjes” — proving that passion and professionalism go hand in hand. 👩‍🍳✨

Girls’ Day is more than an event — it’s a movement. Thanks to the continued support of OeAD Austria's Agency for Education and Internationalisation and dedicated partners, more girls are choosing VET pathways, as Austrian expert Elke Szalai revealed, with some schools reaching over 35% female participation. Step by step, we are building confidence, expanding horizons, and creating real opportunities. 💡💪

A special thank you to all the inspiring women and partners who make this possible, including H.E. Monika Zach Ambassador of the Österreichische Botschaft Tirana/Ambasada Austriake Tiranë, Jonida Lika from Agjencia Kombetare e Punesimit dhe Aftesive, and everyone working to support the next generation of skilled, empowered young women. 🌍

Stay tuned — our next post will celebrate all participating schools across Albania who made Girls’ Day 2026 unforgettable! 💛

🌟 Workshop përgatitor për “Dita e Vajzave në AFP 2026”

Në kuadër të përgatitjeve për Ditën Ndërkombëtare të Vajzave, e cila këtë vit do të shënohet më 23 prill, OeAD në bashkëpunim me Agjencia Kombetare e Punesimit dhe Aftesive dhe shkollat e Arsimit dhe Formimit Profesional (AFP) organizuan një workshop përgatitor më 9–10 mars 2026 në Hotel Mondial, Tiranë.

Ky workshop mblodhi koordinatorë të projekteve zhvillimore nga shkollat profesionale, së bashku me ekspertë ndërkombëtarë, për të planifikuar aktivitetet e “Ditës së Vajzave në AFP 2026”. Qëllimi është të rritet ndërgjegjësimi dhe të nxitet interesi i vajzave për profesione dhe kualifikime atipike, veçanërisht në fushat e teknologjisë dhe profesioneve teknike.

Gjatë dy ditëve të seminarit u diskutuan:
🔹 përvojat dhe mësimet nga aktivitetet e viteve të kaluara
🔹 planifikimi i aktiviteteve për Girls’ Day 2026
🔹 bashkëpunimi mes shkollave profesionale dhe kompanive
🔹 strategjia e përbashkët e komunikimit në nivel kombëtar
🔹 mënyrat për të fuqizuar vajzat dhe për të rritur pjesëmarrjen e tyre në AFP

Përmes bashkëpunimit me shkolla, kompani, institucione dhe partnerë të ndryshëm, synohet që vajzat të kenë mundësi të njihen nga afër me profesione të ndryshme dhe të frymëzohen për zgjedhjet e tyre të ardhshme në arsim dhe karrierë.

📌 Aktivitetet e Girls’ Day 2026 do të zhvillohen në të gjithë vendin më 23 prill 2026, duke përfshirë shkolla profesionale, kompani dhe institucione partnere.
