Regional VET Centre DSU RCSOO Kole Nedelkovski

Back in time

Our school started its work back in 1948/49 as a school of crafts, producing stuff that various economy areas demanded. In 1965 the Municipality of Veles passed a decree in which the school is reorganized into an industrial high school including three areas such as metal, ceramics and textile industry. At the beginning of the 1970s, some vocations within the area of electronics were also added due to the need of the city’s industry. 

Modern days

As of 2024 the school was transformed from municipal to state secondary school and serves as a Regional VET Centre DSU RCSOO Kole Nedelkovski, one of a kind within Vardar Region. Nowadays the school exists in its own school facility covering an area of 6800m2, with suitably fitted classrooms whereas lectures and instructions in machinery / mechanics, electrical engineering / electronics, logistics / transport & forwarding, and hospitality / tourism are performed, so that 980 students organized in 38 classes take participation.

As a regional VET centre we have established a strong cooperation with local companies from various industries where our students perform their internships. This is where our students perform their internships and show their knowledge they gained theoretically, while experiencing new methods of work, follow the development of technology and adjust to the new needs of the labour market as well.

We are also taking active participation in international projects, mainly via the Erasmus+ programme whereas we act as both coordinator and partners. We put great importance to international cooperation and providing of international experience for our students and staff as we find it very significant for their professional as well as personal growth. We have also established partnerships with centres from our neighbouring countries and organize students and teachers exchange.
