What Are the Different Types of Vocational Training in Europe?

The European Union of Professional Psychologists is a joint organization of professional psychologists in Western European countries and most of the former Eastern European countries. Established and signed the charter in Germany in 1981. Open to all European countries, focusing on exchanges and cooperation among members. There can generally be only one member society in each country. By 2003, there were 31 member societies representing more than 150,000 psychologists in Europe. The members of the alliance include doctors, academic and research psychologists. They focus on promoting the development of psychology as a profession and discipline, especially in the application environment, and focus on related training and research. The first annual academic conference was held in Heidelberg in 1981 and every two years thereafter. Most of the developmental work is completed by a task group assigned by the annual academic conference. The task group is composed of representatives of member societies and works in specific fields, usually lasting two years. ^[1]
