Is Vocational Training The Future?

Groups have been calling for the inclusion of Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) programmes in secondary schools, adding to conversations of why it may be the future. First, we talk about how much jobs and careers have changed over time and where TVET fits in. Then, how we would integrate TVET into our school syllabus. And finally, we discuss what we can learn from other countries.
