Association HVC/ Skupnost VSŠ

The Association HVC is the professional Association of Slovene Higher Vocational Colleges on the national level, which means it includes 49 members all providing European Qualifications Framework (EQF) level 5 as private or public providers.
Our members not only provide higher vocational education programmes, but also contribute to the field of applied research and professional studies as well as directly to the development of local communities and regions.
Forty percent (40%) of our curricula are provided as in-company work-based learning, while the teaching staff requirements demand up-to-date professional experience and knowledge from the field of work as well as pedagogical and andragogical competencies of our teaching staff.
In doing so, we ensure up to-date theoretical training at the institution facility followed by monitored and guided in-company placements with certified and qualified mentors.
Our values are: QUALITY – INNOVATION and ENTREPRENEURSHIP – RESPONSIBILITY – RESPECT.
