This document outlines the goals and results of a project between technical colleges in Finland and South Korea. The project aims to enhance cooperation in vocational education between the two countries through teacher and student exchanges. Delegations from Finland visited Keimyung College University in Daegu in 2014 and 2015, while a Korean delegation visited four technical colleges in Finland in 2014. The exchanges have increased understanding of each country's vocational education systems and started comparisons of curriculums. Moving forward, the project looks to continue teacher exchanges and start student mobility programs while further comparing educational standards.
