Assistance for EU-China programme for the development of vocational training for industry
The European Commission, DG I, has published a restricted invitation to tender concerning technical assistance services for the EU-China programme for the development of vocational training for industry. The tender concerns the management and implementation of training projects designed to strengthen the capacity of Chinese training centres to develop training schemes based on requests from the industry.
