Welcome to the EfVET website

Efvet is a unique European-wide professional association which has been created by and for providers of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in all European countries. Its mission is to champion and enrich technical and vocational education and training through transnational co-operation by building a pan-European network of institutions and practitioners which will

  • promote quality and innovation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training throughout Europe
  • develop collaboration, mutual co-operation and sharing of good practice
  • give colleges a platform of influence in European TVET policy

Developed with the support of the European Commission and the European Institute of Education and Social Policy, EFVET is the only transnational organisation of this type for TVET. Its policy is determined by its member colleges and schools. It collaborates with, but is independent of all government and funding bodies. Its income is derived from membership subscription, grants and sponsorship.

New Conference 2008

Improving Quality in Vocational Education and Training as a Vehicle of Lifelong Learning

The multitude of intiatives emanating from EU policy for Education and Training as we move to implement the 2010 Lisbon Agenda include a range of tools and instruments to drive improvements in Vocational Education and Training and foster a lifelong learning culture throughout Europe.

These policy drivers, including EQF and ECVET aim to encourage member states to raise their game in terms of National VET frameworks, stimulate transparency and encourage European citizens to raise their skills promoting greater mobility and opportunity through both learning and working abroad in other member states.  Europass and the European CV encourage a common framework in this regard.

How then do we as Learning institutions respond ?  How do we make it happen?  How do we ensure the quality of VET delivery?  How do we enhance the learning experience for all European citizens to bring about both economic and social cohesion?  What strategies can we adopt and share to bring about real improvements in Vocational Education and Training?

These challenges are both relevant to VET managers and practitioners alike. 

Conference will address some of the quality issues facing both leaders and teachers in VET and Lifelong Learning institutions through presentations from experts and workshops.  Issues include:

For Managers:

  • Improving leadership and management and organisational structure
  • Strategies for attracting high quality staff
  • Resourcing and financial implications – a key to modernising VET

For Teachers:

  • Initial advice, guidance and individual learner planning
  • Flexible learning pathways to meet learner needs
  • Competence based approaches and assessment methodologies
  • Monitoring learner progress and quality assurance methodologies.

To encourage lively debate and the sharing of good practice across the membership – delegates will be invited to prepare in advance examples of practice from across Europe on these issues.

Conference will also include the opportunity for delegates to disseminate the outcomes, products and results of their European partnership projects as has been the case in recent years.  These Roundtable sessions can be booked as part of the Registration process.

New for 2008.   – The Mobility Marketplace……

Conference will, as a result of member feedback, include a new and stimulating session on all aspects of student and staff mobility.  This will take the form of a ‘Mobility marketplace’ offering members the opportunity to establish new partnerships, discuss logistics and mobility initiatives in a supportive setting.  It will be set up as a surgery – for individual partnerships to come together to promote and plan effective mobility initiatives.

EfVET Working groups
Print    Email

Following the common decisions and the Action Plan discussed within the AGM at the Cyprus Conference, we are now circulating, among EfVET members, the invitation to establish a number of working groups focused on different thematic areas. This initiative is aimed at creating the possibilities and the conditions for EfVET members to play a more active role, both at political and operational level, and thus improve the overall impact and effectiveness of our network organisation.
