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.

To promote the internationalisation of TVET institutions and improve international competitiveness a...

ABSTRACT. Today, every industry is calling for their workforce to develop new skill sets due to the dynamic of technological change. Every country needs to prepare its Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector for providing the required skills in the new industrial revolution (IR4.0). It is vitally important to assess TVET academics’ awareness and perceptions of IR4.0 and to ascertain how prepared they are to strategically and effectively manage work-based learning. Which factors have an influence on the situation? A survey based on 16 structured questionnaires was d...
