We’re proud to have participated in the 10-Year Celebration of DC dVET – Donor Committee for dual Vocational Education and Training – held in Durrës, Albania on October 22–23, 2025. This milestone event brought together VET stakeholders from across the region to reflect, connect, and co-create the future of dual vocational education and training.

From inspiring keynotes and regional success stories to hands-on workshops and peer learning, the gathering offered a vibrant platform for collaboration and innovation. It was a space where ideas were exchanged, partnerships were strengthened, and a shared vision for the future of skills was shaped.

Helvetas contributed by sharing its experience in Dual VET through two presentations: one on the E4E project in North Macedonia, and another marketplace showcase on Skills and Career Guidance from the RisiAlbania project. Both initiatives are supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation and implemented by Helvetas North Macedonia and Helvetas Albania.

This event was more than a reflection—it was a forward-looking moment to energize the next phase of vocational education. Participants left inspired and equipped with new perspectives to drive change in their local contexts.

Huge thanks to DC dVET for hosting this transformative gathering. Helvetas is excited to continue shaping the future of skills and contributing to the evolution of Dual VET in the region.
