Origin and Purpose of UNEVOC

Colin Power, the Assistant Director General for Education of the UNESCO recently noted that the world of work has changed dramatically over the past decade. For some people it has become technologically complex, demanding highly sophisticated work skills. For others, as a result of unemployment, it has denied them the satisfaction that comes from the challenge of work, and the sense of achievement gained therefrom. UNESCO has recognized this reality in a number of different ways. One of these has been to expand and develop its role in the area of technical and vocational education. In 1992, UNESCO launched an International Project on Technical and Vocational education (UNEVOC). UNEVOC is dedicated to developing and improving technical and vocational education in UNESCO's Member States and its focus is on information exchange, networking and international cooperation. In 1992, the German Government made a commitment to UNEVOC. Other countries, such as the Republic of Korea, Japan and France are also providing significant contributions in various forms. The UNEVOC Implementation Unit is located in Bonn, Germany. UNESCO's Member States were all invited to nominate an institution to become the national UNEVOC Centre that will act as a focal point for the UNEVOC international network.
