The premier event serving the Vocational Education and Training (VET) community is back for its 6th edition, bringing Europe’s VET policymakers, industry leaders, teachers, organisations, and students together in an online five-day conversation.

Register to watch the livestreamed events of the Week on this edition’s theme of VET & the Green Transition

Food for thought

Smart uses of green technologies, a change in mindsets, and fostering an understanding of what green products, processes, skills, and innovations are needed in the greening of jobs are all vital to Europe’s transition to the green economy.

How can VET best prepare Europe’s workforce to meet the challenges presented in the green transition?

With the European Green Deal commitment of a zero-emissions continent by 2050 at the heart of Europe’s policy making, hear from high-level policy makers on initiatives to equip the people of Europe with the appropriate skills and education for the greening of the economy.
