European Training Foundation

The European Training Foundation (ETF) is the EU agency working to improve the skills and employability of people in partner countries outside the EU. The ETF does not itself train or qualify people. It helps countries and institutions outside the EU to develop skills.

The agency gives advice and support on vocational education and training (VET) policy, programmes, and practice to governments, social partners, and training providers in countries ranging from Morocco to Kazakhstan and from Belarus to Jordan [link to list below].

The ETF is based in Torino, Italy. It is primarily funded from the EU budget with an annual allocation (2023) of around €22.6M.

Approximately 130 staff work at the ETF offices. They represent most EU member states and some of the non-EU partner countries. Provided by Wikipedia
