As previously announced #EfVET17 Annual Conference will take place from the 25th to 28th October in Thessaloniki, Greece!

The theme of this year’s conference will be  “Work & Education aligned to the future”.

Education systems are multi-level systems (local, regional, national in many countries) and alignment between the different levels is a major challenge, particularly in decentralised countries.

The need for closer cooperation between the VET and work. These discussions are prompted by the EU strategic priorities in Vocational and training, and more by a growing recognition the skills with teach and reflect on the modern labour market. How to discuss the New Skills Agenda in Europe and explore how it can connect Vocational Education Training, the labour and digital.

Also, a Commission proposal for a Council Recommendation on establishment of a Skills Guarantees was a key:

“to help low-skilled adults acquire a minimum level literacy,numeracy and digital skills and progress towards an upper secondary qualification”.
