Communication activities
EVTA is currently involved in the development of the idea of the "VET Quality Label for Centres of Excellence", aiming to develop the concept of "VET centres of excellence" (VCE) as a place were professionally effective, socially relevant, methodologically advanced VET services take place -not occasionally but systematically- and to explore whatever the reasons that bring peers (VET training associations or centres) stakeholders (decision makers and companies), workers (operators and teachers) and customers (students) to award a training center as " excellent". It is a subjective (relative) approach aimed to explore objective (absolute) elements of quality.
EVTA is also involved in the development of activities linked to other topics related to VET, such as transversal competencies, apprenticeship, re-skilling and skills up-grading, green skills.
EVTA cooperates closely with the EVBB network, sharing the same values and the mission of improving vocational education and training to increase employability of young people and adult in Europe.Other activities
