The EFVET is an indipendent European-wide professional association which has been created by, and for, Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers. Its mission is to champion and enrich technical and vocational education and training through transnational co-operation by building a pan-European network of institutions.

From the 25th to the 28th October 2017, EFVET organised its annual conference in Thessaloniki. The event focused on how to align workers' skills with the current labour market's needs. The conference also dealt with the role of VET providers in the up-skilling and re-skilling of today’s labour force, as well as with how to create bridges between VET and higher education.
