The Inter-American Research and Documentation Centre on Vocational Training (CINTERFOR) is a technical unit of the International Labour Organization (ILO), with headquarters in Montevideo since its creation in 1963. It acts as the coordinating nucleus of a system composed of vocational training institutions and entities of the ILO Member States from America and Spain. The Technical Committee of Cinterfor, made up of representatives of governments and employers' and workers' organizations, together with the Director General of the ILO, determines the Centre's plan of activities and budget. By nature, it is the coordinator and instrument of technical cooperation among its member institutions; it encourages and promotes the development of human resource training institutions, by means of the exchange of experiences among them, based on studies and research investigations, information and documentation, as well as the transfer of methodologies and vocational training technologies; it contributes to the further training of managers, technical and teaching personnel of regional institutions. To this end, besides the Director, Cinterfor counts with a group of experts on different vocational training areas, and has available a network of specialists to turn to for the realization of specific studies and projects.
