The European Training Foundation, a long-standing Skillman partner, hosted a two-day online event
called “Centres of Vocational Excellence as Engines for Vocational Education and Training development”.
Giovanni Crisonà, Skillman leader, will participate as a keynote speaker on DAY 1, presenting the main achievements that stemmed out from the cooperation with ETF and leading a dynamic roundtable
session involving two notable CoVE examples of excellence in digitalization, with Filippo Di Gregorio,
Director Unindustria Reggio Emilia and Professor Luis De La Torre, CEO Nebulous Systems.

The ETF event is an outstanding opportunity for the broad audience of participants that aims at:

• Continuing the dialogue among Centres of Excellence from ETF partner countries and the EU/Member
  States;
• Bringing together the ENE network, practitioners, and experts from the partner countries of the ETF and
  the EU to share results achieved in the first year of implementation of the ENE;
• Discussing amongst participants how ENE can respond to specific needs of its members;
• Agreeing on actions forward for the network in 2021.

The first day the event focuses on ENE results of 2020, sharing from the perspective of centres of
excellence and partners the added value of partnership work conducted in the fields of work-based
learning, autonomy and public-private partnership and the results of the self-assessment conducted as a
baseline for the network.

The second day focused on priorities for 2021 including discussing new areas of partnership and mutual learning- and the modalities of networking and knowledge exchange to be implemented in the scenario of prolonged travel restrictions.
