Latin America and the Caribbean: The Inter-American Centre for Knowledge Development in Vocational Training (CINTERFOR)

The Inter-American Centre for Knowledge Development in Vocational Training (CINTERFOR) promotes environmental concerns as a cross-cutting competency in professional education.

The Inter-American Centre for Knowledge Development in Vocational Training (CINTERFOR) is a technical unit of the ILO based in Montevideo, Uruguay. Coordinating the largest network of TVET institutions in the world -comprising more than 65 institutions in Latin America, the Caribbean, Spain and Africa- CINTERFOR promotes knowledge sharing and south-south cooperation activities for skill development.
CINTERFOR is also focussing on issues related to the environment and green jobs. For example, the Brazilian National Service of Industrial Learning (SENAI), one of the partnering members of CINTERFOR has defined environmental considerations as a cross-cutting competency in professional education.
