Initial and Continuing Vocational Education and Training

???aural:Bildanfang???Working Group on Initial and Continuing Vocational Education and Training© FU Berlin???aural:Bildende???

Within the framework of the UN Decade the Working Group tries to follow its mission statement. It will contribute its part to putting sustainable development into practice both in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) and in continuing training (CT) in order to ensure the quality and sustainability of initial and continuing VET. Furthermore, the Working Group aims to cooperate with representatives of European and international educational systems.

The Working Group will demonstrate ways of and provide ideas for taking action. It fosters research and pilot projects for VET and CT for sustainable development, helping to formulate qualification needs for sustainable development in VET and CT, so as to launch them in (vocational) education. Furthermore, it injects new ideas into practical vocational training and, for people working in the field of vocational training, it provides experience, results, products and best-practice examples in the field of VET. Trainers, teachers and other relevant staff are helped in their training, and learning material for special topics (e.g. renewable energy) is developed and updated.
