ColegauCymru has taken a significant step onto the European stage by joining EUproVET, a leading representative body for vocational education and training (VET) providers across Europe.
EUproVET brings together national associations and plays a key role in shaping the European agenda for skills, education and workforce development. Its work focuses on strengthening the labour market with a highly skilled workforce, promoting social inclusion, supporting lifelong learning, and creating clear pathways to higher levels of education within an open European VET area.
ColegauCymru’s membership marks a renewed commitment to European engagement, aligning with the UK’s return to the Erasmus+ programme. This will enable us - and the colleges we represent - to deepen partnerships with European counterparts, share best practice, and contribute to influencing European policy in the VET sector.
By joining EUproVET, ColegauCymru ensures that the voice of further education in Wales is heard at a European level, reinforcing our ambition to play an active role in shaping the future of skills and education.
Siân Holleran, International Project Manager at ColegauCymru, said,
“Joining EUproVET is an important step for ColegauCymru and the further education sector in Wales. It provides us with a valuable platform to engage with European partners, share expertise and contribute to policy discussions that will shape the future of vocational education and training.
“As we re-engage with the Erasmus+ programme, this membership demonstrates our clear intention to strengthen European collaboration and ensure that Welsh colleges are part of the wider European conversation on skills, inclusion and lifelong learning.”
