From June 16-18, 2026, Hotel School Riga Development Director, Olga Zvereva (Mg. Paed., MIB), participated in the 3rd Transnational Project Meeting (TPM3) for the Erasmus+ “InternshipConnect” project in Kranj, Slovenia.

Here is a look at what we accomplished during an incredibly productive visit hosted by Regional Chamber of Craft & Small Business of Kranj:

🏢 Industry Insights & Cooperation: We visited Lotrič Metrology, a leading Slovenian company in metrology and quality assurance. Together with invited local VET providers, we discussed enhancing cooperation between education systems and the high-tech sector, and shared valuable experiences regarding practical training and skills development.

📊 Developing New Methodologies: During the meetings, O. Zvereva presented a concept for a new evaluation methodology. This framework will support innovative internship models and experimental support hubs in both territorial and transnational ecosystems. Ultimately, this will help create a bridging tool that secures and facilitates professional immersions for students!
