TTnet - Training of Trainers Network
TTnet Germany (TT Net DE) is a network for innovation in the training of vocational education and training staff. It is a cooperative venture between educational experts from trade and industry, the trade unions, training providers, trainer and teacher networks, schools, federal state institutes and universities. The network is seeking to follow up on the Bruges Communiqué of 7 December 2010 by actively involving itself in German and European educational policy debate.
TTnet Germany has its origins in the "European Forum for key stakeholders and decision-makers in the field of training and teaching staff in vocational education and training" and is coordinated by the Federal Institute of Vocational Education and Training in Bonn. The network aims to promote debate and exchange of experiences on the activities, roles and training pathways of VET staff.
Its activities include two meetings per year at BIBB and cooperation in four thematic working groups.
