Welcome to the UNEVOC-Canada web site at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg. UNEVOC-Canada is the Canadian centre for the UNESCO's International Project on Technical and Vocational Education (UNEVOC) which currently includes 111 countries. Its mission is to develop and improve technical and vocational education (TVE) through research, scholarship, information exchange, networking and international collaboration. The Centre will also play an advocacy role for TVE and will provide opportunities for Canadians to achieve leadership in the field both nationally and internationally. The UNEVOC-Canada membership includes key stakeholders from business and industry, public school systems, community colleges, universities, government agencies and non-profit organisations.

The Faculty of Education, University of Manitoba is proud to be home to UNEVOC-Canada. I join Professor Chris Chinien, Director of UNEVOC-Canada, in a call inviting all Canadians involved in TVE to participate in the activities of the network and to wish you well in this international effort dedicated to improving the human conditions, especially among our most needy partners from developing countries.

Enjoy your journey through the UNEVOC-Canada web site and I hope that you will find all the information you need as well as interesting others to develop beneficial and long-lasting linkages.
