Millions of people gain a vocational qualification every year as a stepping stone to further vocational study or university, better jobs and enhanced skills. For too long, this success has gone without the recognition and national celebration it deserves. VQ Day has been launched to raise the profile of vocational qualifications and celebrate vocational success.

23rd July 2008 is the first ever VQ Day – a celebration of the people who gain vocational qualifications every year.
