Baltic VET competition is a international contest for VET students to support young professionals in the Baltic states and help them to prepare for international Euroskills and Worldskills competitions. Students from several vocational colleges from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will come together to compete and at 2024 the event takes place on 21-22th of February in Tartu Vocational College in Tartu, Estonia.

The Baltic VET competition was initiated by the Erasmus+ project that involved three partners: Kaunas Food Industry and Trade Training Centre, Tartu Vocational Education Centre and Riga Technical School of Tourism and Creative Industry.  The first competition was held in Kaunas at 2021 and involved categories of butchers, chefs, and pastry chefs, to showcase their skills in various challenges.

For example, participants will need to prepare a three-course lunch and work with a given recipe using surprise ingredients that will be revealed during the event. An international panel of judges will assess the participants’ performances. The competition aims to identify a promising young professional in each category who is under 22 years old and attending a vocational school in one of the Baltic states.

We are waiting for students from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to compete in three competition areas:
cooking
pastry/bakery
meat processing
