The European ECVET network

The European ECVET network is a conglomerate of Member States, European social partners and VET providers all working to promote and support ECVET.

1- The ECVET network objectives

Three objectives are assigned to the European ECVET network :

  • back the initiatives and actions within the Member States,
  • communicate the information and experimentations,
  • create a long-term platform for information and shared experiences between Member States.

The network is designed to support all stakeholders in vocational education and training for the design, steering as well as the technical, pedagogical and organisational aspects for implementing ECVET.

2- Members of the ECVET network

All vocational education and training organisations may be network members on the condition they are fully and wholeheartedly committed to the ECVET cause. 

More precisely :

  • each Member State elects 2 representatives to promote ECVET with one representing the national authorities and the other representing the other stakeholders,
  • the European social partners elect 1 member,
  • the CEDEFOP (European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) and the VET work jointly within the network, 
  • the VET stakeholders and providers, meaning the centres, organisations or training professionals, public authorities, professional branches, etc … may become ECVET volunteer members.

Besides any members by right or elected, these memberships open the door to large numbers of stakeholders from Member States.
