The network of "Ambassadors tackling early leaving from VET" was established in 2017. Ambassadors are policy makers, learning providers, experts and other key stakeholders involved in tackling early leaving from VET at national, regional or local level in Europe.

They help disseminate the toolkit and enrich its resources by sending good practices, news, publications and statistics. They are invited to contribute to online discussions, web seminars and Cedefop related events for the further development of the toolkit.
