Call for Proposals
IVETA Annual Conference – Las Vegas, Nevada USA, December 3-4, 2013
Proposals Due July 31, 2013
Note that in previous years, the IVETA Annual USA conference was a one-day conference. In 2013 we
are moving to a two-day conference.
The International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) invites the submission of
proposals for presentation on the theme of “Quality Assurance in Technical-Vocational Education
and Training (TVET)” for its annual conference on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 3-4 in Las
Vegas, Nevada USA. TVET is used to include VET and CTE. The annual conference is being held in
conjunction with the annual IVETA membership meeting and the ACTE Convention, which is being held
December 4-7, 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (https://acteonline.org/vision/#general).
Quality assurance (QA) consists of procedures to ensure that a company or organization is providing the best
possible products or services. Quality assurance in TVET focuses on enhancing and improving the processes
that are used to provide relevant, effective, efficient work-related instruction. It is the “systematic
measurement, comparison with a standard, monitoring of processes and an associated feedback loop that
confers error prevention.”
The Conference will focus on key aspects of Quality Assurance in TVET, including, but not limited to:
1)
