Fantastic visit to Omnia College in Espoo in Finland this morning on the ColegauCymru | CollegesWales visit funded by Taith. Thank you for such a warm welcome 🙏 🇫🇮 Plenty of food for thought on the critical role vocational education and training plays in building a sustainable future 🌍

Kiitos to Skills Finland, it was great to hear about the role of skills competitions in inspiring teachers, driving change, and delivering future skills for Finland's economy on our first visit in Helsinki during our Taith Pathway 2 project

Good first day in Helsinki on a Taith funded exchange with colleagues from ColegauCymru | CollegesWales.

Focus on how we build an effective vocational education and training system in Wales. Discussion on future skills, competencies rather than qualifications, and trust in profession.

Great to be in Helsinki to meet Skills Finland this morning with ColegauCymru | CollegesWales Thank you for a warm welcome and a really interesting presentation on skills competitions. Great ideas as we consider what a VET strategy in Wales might look like. Taith

Huge thanks to all the #construction #engineering employers who braved the rain to join us & meet and network with our students!
