Reimagining TVET for a future-ready workforce

Higher Education is accelerating through automation, climate transitions, and digital disruption. However, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has emerged not just as a career pathway, but as a vehicle for social inclusion, community development, and sustainable growth.

This panel session brings together education leaders to explore how TVET can be both socially purposeful and professionally empowering. The panellists will discuss how forward-thinking TVET models can serve underserved learners, elevate dignity in skilled work, and produce agile, workforce-ready graduates aligned with real market needs. They will highlight how targeted policies, upskilling programs, and closer ties with industry can deliver learning that meets evolving economic and social goals.
