Welcome to the TVET knowledge hub for Industry 4.0 & Digitalisation in Southeast Asia.
Digital transformation and the fourth industrial revolution are rapidly changing the skills demanded by the industry and how these skills are delivered in TVET education. While the specific requirements for sectors and skills demand are still unclear, there is a consensus that skills requirements will be changing a lot faster. As a result, TVET systems must become more flexible, quicker to adapt, and put a greater focus on lifelong learning.
On the other hand, TVET teaching and learning will become more digital itself. TVET institutions need to build the capacities to take advantage of digitalisation and integrate digital media such as VR or e-learning into their teaching and learning services.
This page provides TVET stakeholders and policymakers in Southeast Asia all the information they need to be ready for these upcoming changes.
This joint ILO-UNESCO report provides a global, high-level overview of how digitalization is affecting TVET and skills systems. It draws on consultations with key stakeholders in a set of countries and international organizations to provide insights into the nature and scope of digitalisation and how it is likely to affect the management, delivery, assessment and certification of technical and vocational education and training.

Report
Key messages from this policy brief are: COVID-19 is an unprecedented public health crisis that has led to staggering losses in economic activity and jobs. It can also hasten the uptake of Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technologies that could automate – and possibly eliminate – certain jobs. Firms are facing pressures that can tip the balance towards more automation due to COVID-19. Firms will need to restructure and reorganise to adjust to the post-pandemic economic environment that will involve constraints on human interaction and risk mitigation regulations. Constraint...

These interventions have included a range of fiscal and monetary policies, as well as initiatives promoting digital adoption. The COVID-19 crisis is pushing more consumers online and accelerating the adoption of e-commerce – this will require further digital adaptation by MSMEs. While the immediate benefits of digital interventions may va...
