Are you passionate about making vocational education and training (VET) more inclusive, engaging, and fair for all learners? Join Cedefop’s European Network of Ambassadors Tackling Early Leaving from VET — a dynamic community of professionals driving positive change across Europe.
About the Network
Created by Cedefop in 2017, this European network brings together policy makers, learning providers, researchers, experts, and practitioners committed to reducing early leaving from VET at national, regional, and local levels.
Our Ambassadors come from diverse professional backgrounds — from ministries and VET institutions to companies offering work-based learning, guidance centres, public employment services, social services, youth organisations, and initiatives supporting NEETs (young people not in employment, education, or training).
As an Ambassador for tackling early leaving, you will:
- Connect and collaborate with peers across Europe through exclusive Cedefop webinars and high-level European events.
- Stay informed and inspired with the Cedefop Ambassadors Newsletter, featuring the latest insights, good practices, and policy updates on inclusion and early leaving prevention.
- Contribute your expertise to Cedefop’s VET Toolkit for Tackling Early Leaving and VET Toolkit for Empowering NEETs — sharing inspiring practices, publications, and innovations from your context.
- Shape the future of VET in Europe by participating in online discussions, seminars, and collaborative initiatives that strengthen inclusion and prevent early leaving.
