This Education Brief introduces Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), encompassing education, training, and skills development in various occupational fields. TVET plays a crucial role in supporting economic development by aligning skilled workforce development with labour market needs. Operating at multiple educational levels, including work-based learning, TVET is instrumental in fostering lifelong learning and is an integral part of national education systems.
For TVET programming tailored to forcibly displaced persons, the guide emphasises inclusion, advocating for equal treatment in national TVET systems. It recommends policy development, collaboration with partners, and the formal inclusion of refugees in the economy. The guide also covers market orientation, support services, accreditation, teacher training, life skills development, technology integration, and bridging to the labour market. It encourages partnerships with various sectors to enhance program effectiveness and highlights cross-cutting considerations such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, and innovation.
