A delegation from Vukovarsko-srijemska County, led by Prefect Ivan Bosančić, visited Varaždina County to study models for developing Centers of Excellence. The visit focused on methods to support gifted and talented students by integrating education with the academic community and labor market needs.

Varaždina County Prefect Anđelko Stričak detailed the county’s existing infrastructure, which includes 16 centers of excellence, five vocational centers, and two regional competence centers. These programs involve approximately 800 students and 150 mentors annually. Stričak emphasized that these centers are integrated into the educational system to foster economic strength, noting that while the county maintains a low unemployment rate of 2.3 percent, the primary challenge is a shortage of qualified labor.
