www.cedefop.europa.eu/en/networks/european-community-learning-providers
In 2017, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (CEDEFOP) created the
European Community of learning providers bringing together six organisations sharing the same
objectives:
- prepare the VET provider community for future challenges
- increase the impact of EU level cooperation on VET
- select good practices
- produce practical guidance on priority themes

The members of the community are:
- EfVET - The European forum of Technical and Vocational Education and Training is based in
Brussels and represents over 1500 VET institutions in Europe
- EVBB - The European Association of Institutes for Vocational Training is the European umbrella
association of free and non-profit educational providers
- EVTA - The European Vocational Training Association comprises 15 members from seven
European countries, representing thousands of national training providers and national
employment services
- EUCEN - The European University Continuing Education Network aims at fostering universities'
influence in the development of lifelong learning
- EUproVET - The European Providers of Vocational Education and Training is a platform offering
the possibility to VET providers for strong representation at European level
- EURASH - The European Association of Institutions in Higher Education promotes professional
higher education (PHE) to advocate the interests of extra-university sector of tertiary
education

In the period 2017-2020, three working groups were formed to formulate suggestions and
recommendations about the following topics:
- Technology-enhanced learning (TEL)
- VET providers and EU Mobility
- Empowerment and integration through learning

The community is actively working on two projects concerning:
- Quality assurance in VET to promote the quality of training delivery and increase transparency
of VET policy developments among Member States
- The development of the Mobility Scoreboard, a tool for assisting policymaking in international
learning mobility, providing detailed country information of IVET learner mobility in EU
