On 1 October 2007, ARQA-VET, the Austrian Reference Point for Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training, was established within the OeAD-GmbH, the Austrian Agency for International Co-operation in Education and Research. The institution wants to serve the actors in vocational education and training in Austria as well and as comprehensively as possible by means of providing services and know-how in the fields of quality assurance and quality development. Its objective is to cross-link stakeholders and to play an active role as a mediator from and to the European level. As one of so far 21 national reference points it also wants to act in a pro-active and innovative way in this European network.
