The Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia (CTFC),  based in Solsona (Lleida), was formed initially between the County Council of Solsonès and the University of Lleida, and later the Provincial Council of Lleida, the Catalan Foundation for Research and Innovation, the Government of Catalonia and the Autonomous University of Barcelona were incorporated. The CTFC is appointed to the Administration of the Government of Catalonia and interacts with it by the relevant Department in the field of forests. It also belongs to the CERCA network of Catalan research centers.

It offers many possible courses, both for young people and for adults, through work-based learning, educational and vocational training in many kinds of forestry activities : forest management, manual and mechanized harvesting, skidding, tree surgeons and forestry enterprise management.

Furthermore, the Centre Forestier offers different training diplomas adapted to clients’ specific needs (small enterprises and big public organisations at national level, such as the French operator of the public electricity transmission network ENEDIS).

The Centre Forestier, supported by a European partnership, was one of the founders of the European Network of Forestry Training Centers: EDUFOREST in 1998. Thanks to this network we are strongly involved in different European cooperation projects linked to forestry training.

Within this framework, the Centre Forestier is the French EFESC National Agency that validates other French forestry training centres to deliver the European Chainsaw Certificate (ECC).

The Consorci has two main goals:
-To provide a wide range of training courses (catalogue) to improve and update the worker’s knowledge, skills and competences in order to meet the demands of the labour market.
-To conduct different activities related to the promotion and dissemination of the continuing training and lifelong learning.

Among these activities the Consorci takes part as an advisor partner in some European projects especially related to the definition of vocational training paths, the creation of occupational standards and the recognition of some qualifications/learning outcomes.

Together with private and public partners Natuurinvest ensures that more people can thoroughly enjoy nature in many different ways. To guarantee that nature in Flanders is managed in the best possible way, Natuurinvest also invests in programmes that boost the knowledge and insights of people.

Within Natuurinvest, Inverde is the prime partner for trainings on forestry, green space and nature management. It is a member of the European network of recognised training centres and national agency for the European Chainsaw Certificate. Inverde organises more than 200 training modules and tailor made trainings.

Everybody can register for these trainings: private and public managers of forestry, green space and nature areas; employees of the Agency for Nature and Forests; forest entrepreneurs and everybody with an interest in the management of green space.

As a representative of micro, small and medium service companies, ANEFA is involved in the work of multiple Councils, Commissions and Working Groups within the Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Social Security and Labor, Ministry of Economy and Cities, Territory and Environment and negotiations with the Sector Unions.

ANEFA publishes its own magazine and makes part of the Expoflorestal Organization that organizes an exhibition every two years.

ANEFA provides to all members information on agricultural, forestry and environmental policy measures, public tender communications, market information, and the dissemination of events. In addition, it participates in defining the professions associated with the sector and has developed a training program to support the different companies on those sectors. At the European level ANEFA is part of different Confederations, representing Portugal.

It is characterized by great human capital and huge development potential. School authorities have managed to build an institution that gives its students a solid education and thus a great start to their professional life. It is desired to provide young adults with knowledge comprising many fields so that they can receive an interdisciplinary education providing them with a better chance on the difficult labor market both in Poland and internationally.

Current educational offer includes following faculties: educational science, foreign language studies and national security at BA, MA levels as well as post-graduate studies. A significant part of research work is the dissemination of the institution’s output and the exchange of experiences through conferences and seminars.

In implementing our mission we assume responsibility for the quality of the most important natural resource in Slovenia. Our preserved, biologically diverse, cultivated, stable forests, rich in wood, together with sources of drinking water and recreational potential of forest landscape, constitute an important development priority of Slovenia. Slovenia has a rich, well-known tradition of forest management that receives support also in the European Union, where the economic and environmental significance of forests is constantly growing.

Successful forest management requires co-operation of all those who have an important influence on economic, environmental, and social indicators of forest management; we have to raise the professional and technological level and build in all forest products the highest possible added value. In doing so the Slovenia Forest Service as the central professional institution has to perform its duties with distinction and all responsibility.

The university also provides training of specialists in Ecology and Environmental Protection, Veterinary Medicine, Agronomy, Plant Protection, Business Management and Alternative tourism. The University is a leading training and research centre in the field of management and sustainable use of natural resources.

The University provides training in the three education and qualification degrees: Bachelor, Master and PhD and is fully accredited by the Bulgarian National Evaluation and Accreditation Agency, ranking among the top ten universities in the country.

The University has six faculties: Faculty of Forestry; Faculty of Forest Industry; Faculty of Ecology and Landscape Architecture; Faculty of Veterinary Medicine; Faculty of Agronomy and Faculty of Business Management.

The University also provides customized training courses in specific areas, following the current needs of undergraduates and graduates. In the University of Forestry there is a Centre for Postgraduate Studies where professionals from different economic sectors regularly attend different courses in order to acquire knowledge, skills and qualifications that facilitate their personal development and employability and increase their competitiveness on the European labour market.
