The First School of Economics is a Croatian VET secondary school focused on economics, business and entrepreneurship. Our strategy prioritises internationalisation and work-based learning. The project was developed to respond to European labour market needs and limited local access to international business environments. Mobility in Braga enabled students to gain practical experience in diverse economic sectors and strengthen the European dimension of vocational education.
