The fifth European Vocational Skills Week takes place this week 9 – 13 November 2020, organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union.

This year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Commission are hosting a series of virtual conferences, workshops, and associated events on topics essential to the discussion about vocational education and training (VET), lifelong learning, skills and labour market developments.

European Vocational Skills Week is an annual event when local, regional or national organisations showcase the very best of vocational education and training (VET). VET is a path to a more fulfilling personal and professional life. The week is a platform to make VET’s potential more widely known, and an opportunity to exchange information and good practice across Europe and beyond.

The fifth edition of the Week is a 100% online event organised by the European Commission in cooperation with the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union. A series of partner activities will take place digitally across the EU. Anyone, anywhere can join in these activities.

This year’s theme is VET for Green and Digital Transitions, in line with the Commission priorities of a “European Green Deal” and a “Europe fit for the digital age”.
