CREATING STANDARDS – BUILDING TRUST

The “From Education to Employment” (E2E) project, in cooperation with the Qualifications Agency of the Republic of Serbia, organized a workshop titled “Career Guidance and Counselling – KViS Ecosystems: Local Perspectives and Solutions” within the framework of the Agency’s Expert Forum. The event was held on October 9, 2025, in Vrnjačka Banja, at the Vrnjačke Terme hotel.

This event is the result of a long-standing collaboration between the Qualifications Agency and the E2E project and brought together representatives of accredited career guidance and counselling (CGC) service providers, the Ministry of Education, regional development agencies (RDA), local governments, and schools.

Structured as a roundtable discussion, the workshop focused on key challenges and opportunities in the field of career guidance and counselling at the local level. Participants exchanged experiences and examples of good practice in providing CGC services, while also discussing potential models and mechanisms for sustainable financing of the career guidance and counselling system.

The workshop represents an important step toward improving the accessibility and quality of career guidance and counselling services across Serbia. Its goal was to strengthen dialogue between institutions, local stakeholders, and experts to reinforce support systems for citizens in education and employment processes and to define recommendations for further development and institutionalization of career guidance and counselling services in the country.
