EQAVET

The National Reference Point for quality

The National Reference Points for the quality of Vocational Education and training established in member countries of the European EQAVET network across Europe can be deemed as crucial links between the national and the European levels. Their main purpose is to ensure the adoption of European measures and initiatives in its different member countries, with a view to effectively disseminate ideas and information on the matter of educational quality. 

The Italian Reference point was established at the INAPP headquarters in 2006 and is coordinated by Laura Evangelista, who is also in charge of the Education and Training systems research unit. 

The Reference Point also includes a National Board, whose members are the Ministries of Labour and of Education, the Italian Regions and Autonomous Provinces, the Anpal Agency, and the different social partners which function as national providers of education and training.
