WHY
There are many paths to success, and vocational qualifications
are one of them. Millions of people gain a vocational qualification
every year as a stepping stone to further study, better jobs and
enhanced skills. We think this is something worth celebrating. So
VQ day was launched in 2008 to raise the profile of vocational
qualifications and celebrate vocational success.
