The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) affirmed its belief in vocational education and adaptation to technologies through training. Considering this objective, the Bank has just established a ‘strategic partnership’ with the European Training Foundation (ETF), the EU agency for vocational training, to act in countries covered by the ‘Neighbourhood Policy’ and candidates for accession to the EU. Its objectives are detailed in a communication published on the EBRD website on Thursday 25 February 2016.
 
This partnership will be “expanded in particular in the SEMED region” (South and East Mediterranean). There are projects planned, for example in retail, such as the Mall of Arabia in Egypt or Ayla in Jordan.  The ETF should contribute to the improvement of skills in the tourism industry.
