Join Us
Join us to celebrate IVETA's 40th anniversary in the interesting and historic city of San Antonio, Texas, USA. The IVETA Conference will run parallel with the annual US Association for Career & Technical Education (ACTE) Conference where IVETA started 40 years ago.
Attending IVETA's conference means you can also attend ACTE's conference at the same time with one fee.
At our conference, IVETA members can:
- share information and network with like-minded professionals,
- visit San Antonio Community College
- attend an IVETA evening reception
- attend some of the 350 sessions at the ACTE conference; and
- visit an expo of 250 exhibits of TVET goods/services.
Come join an internationally diverse and dedicated group of TVET educators
The IVETA Conference Theme
Reviewing and Reframing TVET to Improve Economic and Social Outcomes
- Reviewing the role of TVET and whether it remains fit for purpose in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world
- Evaluating the social and economic impact of TVET programs (i.e. TVET's role in increasing employment and wages, productivity, and social transformation)
- Evaluation methodologies examining the cost and efficiency of: (i) internal inputs to TVET programs (i.e., TVET staffing, facilities), (ii) external social and economic outcomes, and (iii) gross and net outcomes (e.g., comparing outcomes for employees undergoing workforce development programs with non-participants).
- Evaluating TVET support programs (i.e., career guidance, entrepreneurship, job placement services)
Our events are informative, interactive and designed to help you make the most of your time.
