Keywords: European Community, Vocational training, Internet

Cedefop (the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training) has upgraded its Web site www.cedefop.eu.int, which is now available in all 11 official languages of the European Community.

Since going on the Web in November 1996 with a trilingual Web site (French, German and English), the server has received some 4.5 million hits with close to 2,000 people per day consulting its pages. With the spread of Internet access throughout Europe, the number of visits to the site has been more than doubling on an annual basis. The decision to increase the language choice to 11 is a response to the demand for such electronic information resources from throughout the European Union.

The newly designed Cedefop site offers the user complete language choice and updated information on the tasks and activities of Cedefop, its services and contacts.

It also offers direct access to the electronic training village www.trainingvillage.gr, the interactive Website designed specifically with vocational education and training specialists in mind. This service is also currently being redesigned to offer simpler navigation and improved access to its resources.
