Online Event, 13/06/23 @ 3 pm

Vocational education and training (VET) is a critical component of any system of innovation. It provides individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to enter the workforce and contribute to the economic growth of their communities. Additionally, VET can also play an important role in fostering innovation, by providing the skilled workforce that is needed to research, develop, and implement new technologies and processes.

In today's fast-paced, globally connected economy, VET is more important than ever. As technology and the nature of work continue to evolve, it is essential that individuals and communities have access to the training and education that will allow them to adapt and thrive.

This event will explore the role of VET in systems of innovation, and will provide examples of how VET is being used around the world to foster innovation and support economic growth. We will also look at the challenges and opportunities facing VET today and in the future, and will discuss strategies for addressing these challenges and seizing these opportunities.
