Interregional cooperations in initial vocational training – a strategy for implementing practice-oriented initial vocational training in Greece?

Regional cooperations in initial vocational training could contribute to making European vocational training systems more practice-oriented. The focus is not on exporting Germany’s dual system of initial vocational training but on cooperation between regional stakeholders as they develop realisable models. What potential such a cooperation might hold for bringing initial vocational training into closer contact with the labour market was studied as part of a feasibility study for the tourism sector in two Greek regions (Kavala and Drama) in East Macedonia - Thrace. The results are presented in the article.
