As the Confederation's national competence centre for VET/PET training and R&D activities in Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (SFIVET) is the natural contact point for international cooperation.
SFIVET works with the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) and the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers (CNAM) in France. In addition to working together on R&D projects, the two institutes also exchange academic staff.
Preparations are also being made to establish institutional cooperation ties with partners in other European countries.
SFIVET represents the Intercantonal Conference on Public Education in the French- and Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland (CIIP) at the Foundation of European Regions for Research in Education and Training (FREREF).
