Information is gathered from other international organizations that promote skills development and the transition from education and training to work. The Interagency Group on Technical and Vocational Education and Training (IAG-TVET) was established in 2009 to share research findings, coordinate joint research endeavours, and improve collaboration among organizations working at the international and national levels.

Initial education and training and lifelong learning benefit individuals, employers and society as a whole. Economic principles dictate that the costs for services with public and private benefits should be shared between public and private funding, or else too little training will be provided or taken up. Effective mechanisms for financing skills development vary according to countries’ economic and political circumstances and the degree and level of social dialogue established.

Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) systems are often burdened by a range of performance issues. Many of these are rooted in problems that countries, including the People's Republic of China, have in generating and allocating the necessary financial resources, and in spending them effectively. This note discusses such issues and presents policy recommendations based on insights gained in Asian Development Bank-sponsored policy reviews of TVET in Guangdong and Hunan provinces.
