A lookback to the Study Visit of newcomer EQF NCP, Europass, and Euroguidance Centres to Austria

From 28 to 30 April, OeAD – Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation – had the pleasure of hosting representatives from the EQF NCP, Europass, and Euroguidance Centres of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, with additional guests from Belgium (Flanders) and Switzerland, for a rich and engaging study visit in Vienna.

Over three inspiring days, participants exchanged knowledge and best practices on vocational education, guidance systems, and cross-border cooperation, with programme highlights including:

✅ Introduction to Austria’s vocational education and guidance system
✅ Country presentations
✅ On-site visits: PES Vienna & Wien Work
✅ Europass Stakeholder Conference
✅ Interactive World Café with European networks
✅ Thematic discussions & future cooperation planning

Evening programmes, including a walking tour and ride on the Wiener Riesenrad ?, gave participants a taste of Vienna’s charm and history.

A heartfelt thank you to all participants, speakers, and partner organisations for your valuable insights and contributions!
