Last tuesday, 18th of March, under the themes of “Building Networks, Enhancing Skills, Shaping Policy” and “Empowering VET for a Sustainable Future”, the Danish Board of Directors from Roskilde Tekniske Skole participated in an insightful meeting with EfVET in Brussels.

Representing Roskilde Tekniske Skole from Denmark, the delegation, welcomed by EfVET’s staff, included Janne Taklo Sørensen, Vibeke Pakkenberg, Pernille Bjerre, Maria Nørby and Jesper Østrup.

During the meeting, EfVET presented its Strategic Plan 2022-2026 and highlighted its key successes from the past three years. The presentation also covered EfVET’s core mission and the crucial role of its members.

Valentina Chanina, EfVET’s Secretary General, emphasized the importance of membership, stating, “Members are our main goal; we work to promote and support EfVET members.” She elaborated on the organization’s four pillars for engaging with members and stakeholders, explaining how collaboration with Danish VET centers is of significant interest to both stakeholders and EfVET members. It was also mentioned how the Danish Board of EfVET, represented by Claus Brandt Kristensen, works in favour of VET education in Denmark.

EfVET, along with its members and partner organizations, is actively working on the Multiannual Financial Framework for the Erasmus+ program for the 2028-2034 period. The organization is seeking input from EfVET members regarding their needs, required budgets, and funding allocation priorities to ensure continued support and development for vocational education and training.

This meeting in Brussels reinforced the commitment of EfVET and Danish VET institutions to strengthening international cooperation, advocating for VET recognition, and ensuring sustainable growth in vocational education across Europe.
