In 2023, the number of graduates with credit mobility of at least 3 months or 15 ECTS points in short-cycle tertiary education stood notably high. The forecasted values from 2024 to 2028 show a steady increase, with the number projected to rise from 10.66 thousand in 2024 to 11.2 thousand by 2028. This represents an average annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period. This upward trend signifies a growing recognition of the value of international experience in vocational and professional education.

Future trends to watch for include:

An increased emphasis on cross-border collaborations and partnerships among educational institutions.
A potential shift towards greater online or hybrid mobility programs, making such opportunities more accessible.
Evolving job market demands that may further drive the need for international exposure and adaptable skill sets among graduates.
