In December 2016, the European Commission held the European Vocational Skills Week under the theme „Discover your Talent!“. It was a great success with over 700,000 participants and 900 activities across Europe.
After this great success, the Commission has decided to organise the pan-European event again and announced that this year's European Vocational Skills Week will be held on 20-24 November.
Building on last year’s theme ‘Discover your talent’, this year the Commission wants to draw attention to mobility of VET learners, addressing skills mismatches, and boosting partnerships between businesses and VET providers. The Commission is hoping to see many national, regional and local events and activities taking place across Europe organised by stakeholders, not only during the week, but through the year.
