The aim of the research was to determine the status the attractiveness and quality of the current vocational education offered at the regional level, preparation of students for the transition from the education system to the local labour market, implementation of dual education by schools, and the required module in vocational counselling in schools in the Subcarpathian voivodeship, including in the context of counteracting NEET (i.e., not in employment, education or training) phenomenon. The research, carried out as part of the DUAL project, permitted identification of trouble spots within Subcarpathia in the context of vocational education, and the conclusions from the research will be used to support educational institutions as well as to construct recommendations for labour market institutions.
