Dual training is the focus of attention in the Netherlands and Germany

Education experts say that work-based learning meets the needs of the contemporary economy in the best way because it allows professionals to be trained fairly quickly, making optimal use of business investment and resources. Therefore, young people interested in learning and working acquire the necessary practical skills, while companies acquire skilled workers. The method of dual training, when the theoretical part is acquired in a vocational training institution and the practical part in a company, is especially encouraged in Lithuania, where projects helping to take the experience from other foreign countries have been implemented.

King Mindaugas Vocational Training Center together with partners from Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain participates in the Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership project initiated by the Lithuanian Association of Innovative Vocational Training Institutions (LAIVTI) APPRINVET 2017-1-LT01-KA202-035249.
