This short description contributes to better understanding vocational education and training (VET) in Croatia by providing insights into its main features and highlighting system developments and current challenges in recent years. In Croatia, vocational education and training (VET) is offered in the form of initial VET (IVET) and adult education. Continuing VET (CVET) programmes are foreseen but not yet implemented. In the last decade, the focus was on developing strategies and legislation. Many building blocks for IVET, fully informed by labour market needs and based on learning outcomes, have been developed: these include anticipating skills needs and new concepts and methodologies for occupational and qualification standards development. Many elements of the reformed system are under development: sectoral curricula, occupational standards, qualification standards and outcome-based VET curricula. This report presents the projections on timing for development and introduction of the new elements of the system as estimated by the Ministry of Science and Education and agency for vocational education and training and adult education in Croatia.
