The TVET Alliance summit is about to take place April 5-6.

The event is organized by TVET-ALLIANCE members in collaboration with the European Training Foundation and with key support from Skillman members such as IVETA, AER, ENNI, and EAPRIL.

Nearly 30 members will meet in Florence, Italy, to leverage and follow up on the results achieved through SIF2021 and thus establish the vision of the Alliance on which SIF2022 will be based. 

Participants share a strong commitment to co-designing an inclusive, resilient, and sustainable society, where TVET is a pillar for innovation in curriculum development and designing the “society of tomorrow“. For this reason, during the event, a statement will be drafted to flesh out the results that emerge.
