CALL FOR ARTICLES
The Canadian Vocational Association (CVA) is preparing its second thematic bulletin focusing on Canada's technical and vocational education (TVET) systems.

Once again, you can contribute to the bulletin by sharing recent articles and references describing the structure and other features of the TVET system in a given province or territory, or highlighting similarities and differences among the TVET systems in Canada or discussing major TVET issues and challenges that Canada will or could be facing in the coming years.

If you are interested in responding to this invitation, please submit article(s) and / or references to Madeleine Anne Decker at cvaacfpbulletin@gmail.com no later than 10 September.

This special bulletin will be published at the end of September.
