http://www.cedefop.europa.eu/EN/news/15172.aspx

Cedefop, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training, has brought its redesigned and updated Web pages under a new roof. The new Web portal (www.cedefop.europa.eu) has been conceived primarily with the needs of policy-makers, researchers and social partners in mind, but also aims to serve practitioners and interested European citizens.

Deputy Director Christian Lettmayr explains: "Our ambition is to provide easy access to vital information about vocational education and training (VET) in Europe - especially, but not exclusively, Cedefop’s own work."
