The DRUPWB project aims to reshape the vocational education landscape, focusing on capacity building and innovative curriculum development based on STEM pedagogy. Its objectives align with the need to enhance labor market relevance of skills and to integrate VET into local, regional, and national development strategies.

DRUPWB is guided by the latest recommendations of the European Training Foundation and the Torino process, ensuring a strategic approach aligned with the current economic and social dynamics.

The project is poised to tackle challenges faced by young people in entering the labor market, addressing the alarming youth unemployment rates in the Western Balkans. By fostering cooperation between private and public stakeholders and developing demand-driven VET interventions, DRUPWB aspires to prevent the emergence of a “lost generation” of young people excluded from productive employment.
