‘I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you as we officially launch the 2022 European Vocational Skills Week (the Week), with the aim of bringing together all Vocational and Educational Training (VET) stakeholders from around Europe and beyond to share best VET practices and showcase the integral value of VET for all ages.
This year the focus of the Week (16-20 May) is VET and the Green Transition, in line with the EU’s commitment to the European Green Deal - the path towards zero net emissions by 2050 - and the steps needed to get there, known as the Green Transition. Getting the recipe right in terms of what skills and knowledge will be needed to plan for the future green economy is what VET and the Green Transition is all about.

Community of European VET practitioners
|
|
Join the Community of European VET practitioners virtually on EPALE
|
|
Exchange insights and best practices on Vocational Education and Training (VET) online by joining the Community of European VET practitioners, one of many initiatives to raise awareness of the role, value and relevance of VET.
|
|
|
|
|
Established by the European Commission in 2020, this virtual Community of Practice (CoP) is hosted on the Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe (EPALE). It offers an interactive platform for VET practitioners to network, exchange ideas, content and resources. It’s also useful to stay informed of recent policies and initiatives in the field.
The CoP also provides a platform for topical webinars, think pieces/blogs from VET experts, and for the European Commission to share updates. Featured topics have included the green and digital transitions and VET, online learning, new policy developments in VET and learning mobility. Spread the word to your relevant stakeholders: together register on EPALE, and request your membership to the Community of European VET practitioners.
