Last week, members of the Gatsby team visited Vienna to explore Austria's technical education system. We met with the organisations responsible for the occupational standards and employer inputs which underpin both classroom-based technical education qualifications and apprenticeships, as well as businesses, teachers, students and apprentices. Thank you to all who hosted us, particularly Bundesministerium für Bildung, Wissenschaft und Forschung for compiling the visit programme and British Embassy Vienna for building our understanding of the cultural and political context. Thanks also to colleagues from Bridgwater & Taunton College, Solihull College & University Centre, Cambridge Regional College, Chesterfield College, and IfATE (Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education) who joined us. This trip forms part of our programme to identify features of strong technical education systems to inform how we look at our own approaches in England.

A fantastic morning at the Stoke-on-Trent & Staffordshire Institute of Technology Topping-Out Ceremony! Always a pleasure to get out of the office and visit #InstitutesofTechnology, but even better when I get to throw on a high-vis and hard hat! 👷♂️🚧 Huge congrats to Georgina Barnard MSc and the whole team—excited to see the finished space and visit again when the doors officially open! 🍾 Gatsby Charitable Foundation | The National Network of Institutes of Technology | Ginny Page
