We provide Centre of Excellence members with the opportunity to make an application for teachers and trainers to participate in international exchange visits, to gather insights from our multinational partners, that are part of the WorldSkills Global Network.
The visits enable educators to engage in action learning and active experimentation with new and innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment to raise standards, drive quality improvement, and develop further and higher technical teaching and training excellence.
Educators who attend the International Exchange Visits share their learning widely through the Centre of Excellence.
