Why TVET?

  • Across the world, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is driving the post-pandemic recovery. TVET enables young people and those already in work to develop the skills, experience and competencies demanded by employers, in a fast-changing global economy.
  • TVET provides individuals with skill sets for lifelong employability. TVET provides employers with the skilled workforce needed to compete and succeed. In the Pacific, TVET has a crucial role to play in providing educational opportunity, reducing inequality, filling skills gaps, and supporting sustainable economic growth – especially in rural and remote communities.
  • Modern, innovative, responsive and inclusive TVET contributes to the development of a skilled, knowledge-based society. This in turn increases productivity and provides Pacific countries with the competitive edge to succeed in a globalised environment.
