The IVETA Conference Theme

Reviewing and Reframing TVET to Improve Economic and Social Outcomes

• Reviewing the role of TVET and whether it remains fit for purpose in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) world
• Evaluating the social and economic impact of TVET programs (i.e. TVET's role in increasing employment and wages, productivity, and social transformation)
• Evaluation methodologies examining the cost and efficiency of: (i) internal inputs to TVET programs (i.e., TVET staffing, facilities), (ii) external social and economic outcomes, and (iii) gross and net outcomes (e.g., comparing outcomes for employees undergoing workforce development programs with non-participants).
• Evaluating TVET support programs (i.e., career guidance, entrepreneurship, job placement services)
