For the first time, the Inter-Agency Group on Technical Vocational Education and Training (IAG TVET) meeting was hosted by the European Commission on 29 April. The IAG TVET is a unique platform that brings 17 different international organisations together to advance the global TVET and Skills Agenda.   

Led by UNESCO, the event brought together several United Nations bodies, including UNESCO-UNEVOC and UNIDO, as well as European agencies like CEDEFOP and ETF, alongside the OECD and the ILO. The IAG TVET working groups tackled crucial topics such as enhancing work-based learning and quality apprenticeships, shaping the future of vocational education with a focus on excellence and inclusion, modernising and digitalising career guidance, and promoting green skills development in VET.
