The objective of the project is to form a partnership, promote cooperation and exchange of good practices between the institutions coordinating the work of sectoral expert councils as well as other stakeholders involved in development of VET education in the Baltic States.

The main activities of the project are:

1. Organize training visits to Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia to find out how sectoral expert councils work is organized in each of the Baltic States;
2. Organize virtual mobility and exchange experience between sectoral expert councils in the Baltic States by organizing meetings to plan project activities and seminars to exchange experience and good practices.

As a result of the project, it is planned to lay the foundations for a long-term partnership at international level, as well as to promote cooperation between the three co-ordinating bodies of SECs in Latvia, at national level. The project will provide an opportunity to find good practice examples, strengthen cooperation and develop a common approach to the implementation of SEC functions both at international and national level.
