As vice President for North America for the International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) I would like to alert ICCDPP members of the International Conference of IVETA in December 2022. IVETA has a MOU of cooperation with ICCDPP, and the Chairperson of ICCDPP, Sareena Hopkins (CCDF, Canada) is a member of IVETA.

IVETA is partnering with the US Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE) Vision Event to implement this international conference in Las Vegas in December 2022.

The IVETA Conference Theme is “Helping Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) educators, administrators, and other key stakeholders prepare citizens with the knowledge and skills to succeed in the changing 21st Century Economy”. Several sub-themes deal specifically with issues related to Career Guidance and Counseling Policy and Programs (i.e., use of labor market information), Participants will have the opportunity to attend IVETA events and presentations, as well as ACTE presentations, on policies and programs at all levels and in many TVET technical areas including the field of Career Development and Counseling.

For more detail on the IVETA Conference including: (i) sub-themes, (ii) how to submit a summary of a proposal you may want to present (due by mid-July), (iii) how to register for the Conference (IVETA has negotiated special rates for IVETA members with ACTE which is handling registration), and other details go to http://www.iveta.global, go to events, click on November, then scroll down to see all details.
