Israel

In line with the EU-Israel political agenda, the European Training Foundation contributes to reinforcing the links with the European Union by encouraging the country's participation to EU programmes and expert communities via EU-funded instruments. We also provide policy advice to the Israeli authorities in their setting-up of the Israeli National Qualifications Framework (Israel was included in the 2019 edition of the Global inventory of regional and national qualifications frameworks). In addition, we continue to work with the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Committee, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Economy and Industry, Labour Branch and their related institutions, research institutions and skills-related public and private sector partners.

Priorities for the TVET reform and international cooperation in education and training, for example, networking with Israeli centres and platforms of vocational excellence and reinforcing qualifications and involvement of the private sector, are key issues.
