Cedefop invites you to its fourth webinar of the 'Ambassadors tackling early leaving from VET' network:
“Harnessing AI and digital technologies to empower young people at risk”
 11 March 2026 | 10:30–12:30 CET | Online

The webinar explores how artificial intelligence and digital technologies can help prevent early leaving from education and training and better support young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs). It is closely linked to Cedefop’s 2026 call for papers on Harnessing artificial intelligence and digital technologies for inclusive and resilient vocational education and training.

Participation is open to Cedefop’s  'Ambassadors tackling early leaving from VET' network:

Participants will:

  • learn about Cedefop’s new call for papers and ways to contribute;
  • discuss opportunities and challenges of AI-enabled and digital approaches for inclusion;
  • exchange experiences across countries and sectors;
  • get updates on Cedefop’s VET toolkits.

The webinar outcomes will feed into Cedefop’s ongoing work on inclusion, digital transformation and resilience in VET. Participant input is encouraged to help shape future activities and strengthen dialogue between research, policy and practice.

About the network
Established in 2017, Cedefop’s network of ambassadors brings together ambassadors from 23 European countries and EU-level experts. Members actively drive efforts to address early leaving from VET at national, regional and local levels, contribute to Cedefop’s VET toolkits, and share innovative practices, tools and evidence to better support young people at risk and NEETs.

The concept note and agenda will be shortly available.
