Open Market Consultation in Slovenia
On 29 July 2024, the Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia (OZS) organised an Open Market Consultation as part of the P5 – Innobroker project, with the aim of opening a dialogue to address needs and stimulate the development of innovation
The aim of the market consultations was to open a dialogue that addresses needs and promotes the development of innovations in the management and governance of colleges, or the monitoring of students and their progress in practical training in companies.
The Association of Slovene Higher Vocational Colleges (Association HVC) is an institution that offers tailor-made study programmes for students that include a significant proportion of practical training, as the quality of such training and regular transparent communication between the student, the company and the VET school during practical training is crucial for its success.
The Association of HVC, with the technical assistance of the Chamber of Craft and Small Business of Slovenia and the P5 Innobroker project, is interested in the experience of companies with the different tools that make up an innovative and sustainable solution for monitoring students and their progress in practical training in companies.
Two solution providers responded to the open market consultation - two micro companies active in web development, computer programming and consultancy. They presented their innovative solutions, ideas that could be used, and an interesting discussion developed between them and the public buyer. The response was good and the companies were very interested in participating.
