About TVETipedia

TVETipedia is an online portal for the exchange of information on technical and vocational education and training (TVET). It is the place to find:

• general information on TVET
• examples of good practices and lessons learned
• collaboration on TVET projects

TVETipedia aims to

• become an important source of information about TVET worldwide;
• engage TVET stakeholders; and
• increase awareness of the importance of TVET.

It was initially developed in 2007 by UNESCO's International Centre for Technical and Vocational Training ( UNESCO-UNEVOC (http://www.unevoc.unesco.org)) and launched on 19 March 2009.

The anticipated community of authors consists of UNEVOC's more than 1,000 e-Forum (http://www.unevoc.unesco.org/forum) members, staff members of UNEVOC Network (http://www.unevoc.unesco.org/network) institutions, and all others who are interested in TVET and education for the world of work be it as practitioners, researchers, or policy-makers.

TVETipedia is not meant to be a competitor for other seemingly similar undertakings, but rather a complementary, more specialised collaboration portal. We do hope that the TVETipedia community will also contribute to other Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki)s where feasible, especially in the field of education. Such wikis and portals are listed on one of TVETipedia's wiki pages: Education wikis and portals with TVET content
