Other sources
Experts from many international, regional and national agencies generously share their views, experiences and findings on skills, helping policy-makers among other stakeholders to understand the linkages between education, training and the world of work, and how to integrate skills into national development planning to promote employment and economic growth.
Anticipating and matching skills needs
Anticipating and building skills for the future is essential to a rapidly changing labour market. This applies to changes in the types and levels of skills needed as well as in occupational and technical areas. Effective methods to anticipate future skills needs and avoid potential mismatches include: sustained dialogue between employers and trainers, coordination across government institutions, labour market information systems, employment services and performance reviews of training institutions.
Research papers
Working papers, reports, and other publications from international organizations, academic institutions and bilateral agencies. Research findings to stimulate informed debate on skills, employment and productivity issues.
To cope with these challenges, new instruments and methods need to be developed and introduced to improve the quality in TVET. IT-based learning represents a great opportunity and in this context e-learning stands for a paradigm shift in TVET towards:
– Systematic and continued teacher training to enable working with rapidly changing technologies
– Mainstreaming the concept of life-long learning in TVET
– Promoting the cooperation among TVET providers in the region.
The present publication intends to enrich the discussion about the use and implementation of e-learning methods and tools in TVET.
