  5. cont. • EFFECTIVENESS – In 2010, 36,127 students who graduated from a three-year or four-year VET school enrolled in higher education institutions, which makes up around 63% of the total high school graduates’ population. • According to the NES statistics (data from April 2011), the number of individuals who seek employment for the first time and who have graduated from a three-year VET school, is 61,901.

  8. Additional education and training • The Law on Employment and Unemployment Insurance • The aim is: offering an unemployed person or an employed person whose services are no longer required by the employer, and to whom adequate employment cannot be offered, the possibility to undergo theoretical and practical training to gain new skills and knowledge in order to find employment, thus creating possibilities for employment and self-employment. • National Employment Service (NES)
