Non-member VET teachers, trainers and human resource managers who are interested may attend. Entrance is free.

TTnet Malta is a member of the European Training of Trainers Network established in 1998 by CEDEFOP, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training. The aim of the Training the Trainers' Network (TTnet) is to promote the development of vocational teachers' and trainers' skills.

The European TTnet networks were set up to support and promote professionalisation of training of trainers. They are based on the organisation of such activities as thematic workshops and research. These are designed to foster the exchange of experience and knowledge and to exchange the development of recommendations and tools for the profession.

The local network aims to contribute to the identification, analysis and dissemination of innovative approaches in key priority areas for the training of VET teachers and trainers; serve as a discussion forum and a platform between key actors, main experts and policymakers at a national level and act as a national forum where informed reflection, debate and dissemination about teaching/learning in VET and workplace are encouraged.

The Malta network has, through EU funding, been able to participate in the eTTnet Campus project. Two representatives/researchers are actively contributing through two workshops on "development planning where the national representatives have to define institutional, economic, organisational, pedagogical and technological requirements for a sustainable virtual campus for VET teachers and trainers" and "in the different and innovative ways of dissemination of the collaborative learning experiences".

Delegates from the various European TTnet works will be meeting in Malta next month to attend one of the seminars held regularly in a different European country.
