EU policy

Vocational Education and Training (VET) teachers are the driving force behind Europe's skilled workforce and thriving society. They equip learners with skills and knowledge essential for life and career success, and they lead the implementation of critical education reforms. Yet despite the significant demands of their role, their professional needs and daily challenges remain largely overlooked. It's time to change that.

As digital transformation spreads across industries and workplaces, the demand for modern, adaptable skills is rapidly increasing. Vocational education and training (VET) is essential for equipping young learners with the digital skills and competences they need to navigate and succeed in this evolving digital environment. Ensuring that digital skills are effectively integrated into initial VET (IVET) curricula is crucial for preparing learners to meet the challenges of the digitalised labour market and empowering them with the tools necessary to build a successful future.
