CollegesWales International, as the designated National Reference Point (NRP) for European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET), has been able to access European funding to undertake research into issues of relevance to the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector in Wales. These projects, worth approximately €250k, have allowed us to investigate how systems in Wales compare to those in the rest of Europe. The work has resulted in three reports. 

We look into the acquisition of skills for the Retail, Tourism and Hospitality sectors in Wales

Gammon, egg and chips in a pub, night after night - 2016/17
