European Forum of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (EFVET)

Efvet is a unique European-wide professional association which has been created by and for providers of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in all European countries. Its mission is to champion and enrich technical and vocational education and training through trans-national co-operation by building a pan-European network of institutions and practitioners which will:

 * promote quality and innovation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training throughout Europe 
 * develop collaboration, mutual co-operation and sharing of good practice 
 * give colleges a platform of influence in European TVET policy

Developed with the support of the European Commission and the European Institute of Education and Social Policy, EFVET is the only trans-national organisation of this type for TVET. Its policy is determined by its member colleges and schools. It collaborates with, but is independent of all government and funding bodies. EFVET's income is derived from membership subscription, dissemination of project results, grants and sponsorship.
