What to Expect at the 2025 EVBB Annual Conference Theme: Innovative Financing Models in VET
Europe’s social and economic resilience hinges on one thing: skills. This year, we’re zeroing in on the future of financing vocational education and training (VET) — because how we fund education shapes who benefits from it.
Why This Matters
- Innovative financing can make VET systems inclusive, future-ready, and community-rooted
- Funding decisions affect the success of the green and digital transitions
- Europe needs bold models that tie education to social impact and equity
