Welcome to the Irish Vocational Education Association (IVEA), the national representative association for Ireland's vocational education committees (VECs).
What VECs Do
VECs are statutory education authorities which have responsibility for vocational educational training, youth work and a range of other statutory functions. VECs also manage and operate second level schools, further education colleges, pilot community primary schools and a range of adult and further education centres delivering education and training programmes to all sectors of the communities served by the VECs.
While the Vocational Education Act of 1930 was amended in 1936, 1944 and 1970 a major overhaul of VECs was conducted in 2001 with the enactment of the Vocational Education (Amendment) Act.
The IVEA is charged with protecting, promoting and enhancing the interests of vocational education and training in Ireland and now within a European context.
