We encourage you to explore the latest publications prepared by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop) in cooperation with the Educational Research Institute – the national ReferNet partner in Poland.

These materials provide up-to-date, essential information on the structure, reforms and challenges of the Polish vocational education and training (VET) system, as well as its role in broader socio-economic transformations.

The publication “Vocational education and training in Poland. Short description” offers a concise overview of the Polish VET system, including its structure, recent reforms and importance for the labour market and the ongoing digital and green transitions.
