Millions of people take a vocational qualification every year leading them on to further vocational study or university, better jobs and enhanced skills. For too long, this success has gone without the recognition and celebration it deserves.
To raise the profile of vocational qualifications and celebrate vocational success ‘VQ Day’ was launched in 2008. VQ Day is an official celebration of the people who gain vocational qualifications every year, and the people who help them achieve this success.
Plans for VQ Day are being led by Edge, the education foundation, in conjunction with the vocational qualifications community
The 3rd VQ Day will take place nationwide on 23rd June 2010. A national celebration event will be held in London to showcase the diversity of vocational success, with regional media events held by colleges and learning providers around the country. It is hoped that VQ Day will help raise the profile, and communicate the value, of vocational qualifications to future students, potential employers and the wider public.
