The ETF’s GLAD - the Governance, Learning, Actions and Dialogues Network - inspires the governance of vocational education and training, skills development and lifelong learning in ETF partner countries.
GLAD is committed to the exchange of practice - both established and experimental - to create knowledge and to implement governance based on a partnership approach. The network is open to all ETF partner countries, to all stakeholders interested in participatory governance in human capital development (HCD).
