How to make education and training relevant? Engage social partners!

The European Training Foundation (ETF), in March 2011, launched a three-year regional project (2011-2013) to support a more active engagement of social partners in vocational education and training (VET) in the countries of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. The aim of the project is to reinforce the capacities of social partners - employers’ organisations and trade unions - to play an active role in the field of vocational education and training in a lifelong learning perspective.
