Eight months ago, the World Federation of Colleges and Polytechnics (WFCP) launched its first ever ‘Global Statement’ calling on all vocational, professional and technical education and training institutions from around the world to coordinate an education, training and skills offer that speeds up economic and social recovery following the Covid 19 pandemic.
The statement was launched at the TKNIKA International VET Congress in San Sebastián, Spain on Thursday 11th November by WFCP President Dawn Ward to over 1000 vocational and technical education professionals from around the world.
The statement highlights the importance of professional, technical and vocational training in reshaping economies and ensuring that a post pandemic global landscape has the requisite skills, knowledge and competencies to rebuild the global economy increasing its resilience for the future.
As an international network with members from more than 20 countries, WFCP wishes to ensure the statement reaches as wide an audience as possible. We are therefore pleased to announce that alongside the English and Spanish versions, our Global Statement infographic is now also available in French.
