Caribbean Vocational AND Trade Schools C-VET

About Caribbean Vocational AND Trade Schools C-VET

A platform for the promotion and collaboration of Vocational and Trade school Education in the Caribbean

The following key components have been established: A. Creating an online platform (www.c-vet.com) to share knowledge and meet vocational professionals. B. Organize conferences / meetings / workshops

It goes without saying that organizing conferences/meetings and/or workshops together is financially attractive. After the 1st Trade School Conference on Sint Maarten in November 2016, the stakeholders are ready to take the next step, to determine what needs to be done in order to continue to learn from each other. Joining workshops that are organized on Sint Maarten and St. Eustatius or Saba are a first step. The workshops etc. will be mentioned on the website and stakeholders can enroll. Additionally, a conference will be held yearly on the three islands.
