In many countries, as well as at the European level, the organization of vocational school student competitions is recognized as having the potential to promote visibility and enhance the appeal of vocational education and training as a desirable career choice. Through the organization of this event, the Agency, in collaboration with the Ministry of Science and Education and numerous vocational schools, is working to raise awareness regarding vocational education and training among parents, elementary and high school students, as well as employers. This event also ensures the visibility of Croatian competitions at the international level, as evidenced by the participation of foreign competitors from 5 European countries in this year&#8217;s competition (Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Germany, Montenegro). Additionally, delegations and guests from Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia also visited the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This year was the fourth time that the Agency for VET and Adult Education organized such an event.
