The challenge that the glass industry faces is the fact that virtually no younger generation, which knowledge could be transferred to, exists within the scope of basic vocations involved in the glass industry. The traditional secondary school programmes have been recording a negative trend of enrolment, and furthermore do not provide for every competency required for employment in the economic sector. In the long run the project provides for the competitiveness of the glass industry in Slovenia, despite globalization, and ensures jobs to workers. The purpose of the project was to restructure the glassblower and glasscutter vocational standards. For this purpose, we imported innovations and good practices from Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic. More specifically, the goals of the project were to improve access to the formal education system, to alleviate the deficit in knowledge in glass-making companies, to educate about new technologies, and to be able to certify glass-making know-how acquired in an informal manner. This enables the preservation of workplaces in the glass industry. Simultaneously, the programme provided an opportunity for the reintegration of the unemployed and older employees into the labour market. The project directly improved the vocational education in the glass industry and promoted the collaboration between the PIU and the industry. The effects on national vocational education and training systems differ from the current systems and practices, and were be based on the successful implementation of activities aimed at expansion/utilization. The project involved partners which are directly connected to the field of vocational education. The results of the project will after verification be used in national vocational qualification system.The project results will be mantained: the professional standards and the catalogues of knowledge for glass blowers and glass cutters, the education programme, which will be the basis for obtaining the certificate of NVQ for glass blowers and glass cutters, the materials for the education programme which will be used by the participants in the future programmes, the partnership between Steklarna Rogaška, CPI and LU Šentjur is being kept at the transformation of the remaining professional standards in the field of glass industry.
