Vocational Education and Training Programs (VET): An Asian Perspective.
Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: This paper makes an attempt to provide a review on challenges, outcomes and present situation in vocational education and training (VET) programs in some Asian countries. Various country-specific studies indicate that the VET system has not responded very well in the South Asian region. The VET stream is quite small. Despite there being a growing demand for a skilled labor force, the labor market outcomes of those who have followed the vocational path are not good. However, the governments are giving full attention to making the VET system robust in these countries. Various new policy initiatives have been undertaken by the governments in recent years (Asia-Pacific Journal of Cooperative Education, 2013 14(1), 15-26).
