Training quality and relevance
The European Vocational Skills Week 2020 is the active involvement of organisations, companies and individuals. Any school, company, association or organisation in the EU, EFTA or candidate countries, or which is supported by the European Training Foundation, can organise events/activities as part of the Week.
European Vocational Skills Week is an annual event when local, regional or national organisations showcase the very best of vocational education and training (VET). VET is a path to a more fulfilling personal and professional life. European Vocational Skills Week is a platform to make VET’s potential more widely known, and an opportunity to exchange information and good practice across Europe and beyond.
The fifth edition of the Week is a 100% online event organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union. A series of partner activities will take place digitally across the EU. Anyone, anywhere can join in these activities.
This year’s theme is VET for Green and Digital Transitions, in line with the Commission priorities of a “European Green Deal” and a “Europe fit for the digital age”.
How can you be part of the Week? Organise or take part in an event or activity, vote in the VET Excellence Awards or share your VET story to inspire others to discover their talent. Any event/activity taking place between March and December 2020 can apply to be an official partner event of European Vocational Skills Week.
