TVET UK represents the interests of the UK vocational sector worldwide, and that means making sure that TVET UK members have the opportunity to meet up with key decision makers in new and established markets across the globe.

We run dedicated missions with a full itinerary of events and meetings, and make sure that we have a presence at the world’s best educational exhibitions, conferences and seminars. Our members have met with education ministers in many countries including Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan,and regional government in Egypt, and signed numerous Memorandums of Co-Operation and Understanding to supply products and services that will benefit the whole UK education system.

TVET UK organises the itinerary - our members simply need to jump on the plane. And more good news; UKTI grants and other funding opportunities are often available.
