Category: Research

This paper discusses the concept of technical and vocational training and its role in promoting and supporting sustainable development. Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) takes on a complex and distinctive character with regard to sustainable development. TVET has always included elements of sustainability, especially in the way scarce training materials were conserved and waste materials were disposed.
