Our Association is a key point of reference for more than 300 vocational institutions across three different continents. However, the EVBB represents a further step towards the heart of the discussion around education & training.
VET, as it encompasses millions of learners across different sectors and levels, sees itself rooted in many different dimensions. It is part of our work then to reach the most comprehensive level of discussion on the matter through different platforms and partners.
For this reason, our Association is embedded in a network of cooperation that deepens the relationships between the Membership base, precious at its grassroot level, and other institutional partners that also represent the daily partners of our Association.
