Skills Anticipation : from a mechanic process to a creative and collaborative process
A couple of words for ETF: EU agency having as mandate to make TVET a valid pathway for economic and social development and social cohesion in the countries of the EU Neighbourhood. We see TVET in a LLL perspective covering not only education and training for young people as a preparation for the economically active life. But also including all training opportunities that enhance and upgrade the skills of adults.

2. European training foundation
The ETF helps transition and developing countries to harness the potential of their human capital through the reform of education, training and labour market systems in the context of the EU’s external relations policies.
