As the Confederation's national competence centre for teaching and research in vocational pedagogy, upper-secondary level vocational education and training (VET), tertiary-level B professional education and training (PET) and occupational development, the Swiss Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (SFIVET) is the national contact point for international cooperation.
SFIVET is heavily involved in international cooperation initiatives. These partnerships help SFIVET to grow and raise its profile through joint activities and the exchange of staff. Research projects are also facilitated thanks to international grant funding.
