European Vocational Skills Week 2020 is an annual initiative of the European Commission to raise awareness of the benefits of vocational education and training (VET). The theme of the campaign this year is VET for Green and Digital Transitions, in line with the Commission’s priorities on a European Green Deal and a Europe fit for the digital age.

What is Vocational Education and Training (VET)?

VET is defined as education and training that aims to equip people with the knowledge, skills and/or competences required in specific occupations or more broadly on the job market. It is a major part of lifelong learning and critical to Europe’s efforts to respond to economic and social challenges.What’s the campaign about?

The Week aims to make VET more appealing, to help young people and adults
reach their full potential. Events taking place all over Europe – locally, regionally
and nationally – will showcase the immense opportunities offered by VET for
individuals and companies.

The fifth edition of the Week is a hybrid event due to COVID-19 safety
measures. It will take place from 9 to 13 November 2020 in Berlin
and simultaneously online . Events/activities organised at any time during
2020 can be associated with the Week – which means you will have a strong
platform for boosting your organisation’s recognition and visibility.

The motto of the campaign is Discover Your Talent! It seeks to show that
every person has valuable talents, and that VET can provide the practical skills
and knowledge for Europe’s citizens, of all ages, to succeed in the labour market
and in society.
This year’s theme is VET for Green and Digital Transitions , in line with
the European Commission’s priorities on a European Green Deal and a Europe fit
for the digital age.
