Oit-Cinterfor

The Inter-American Research and Documentation Centre on Vocational Training (CINTERFOR) originated from the Seventh Conference of American ILO Member States, held in Buenos Aires in 1961, in response to a proposal made to the ILO to establish a centre for the exchange of experiences, based on research, documentation and dissemination of vocational training activities and that will act as a core system constituted by vocational training institutions and organizations of ILO Member States in America and Spain. Then, in 1963 CINTERFOR was created by the International Labour Organization (ILO), with headquarters in Montevideo. In 2007 the Strategic plan for the future action of ILO/Cinterfor was launched which exposes its Mission and Vision and raises the implementation strategic and its action plan for the next short and medium-term period.
