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.

UNESCO (2023) - Towards a human-centered approach to the use of generative AI. Publicly available generative AI (GenAI) tools are rapidly emerging, and the release of iterative versions is outpacing the adaptation of national regulatory frameworks. The absence of national regulations on GenAI in most countries leaves the data privacy of users unprotected and educational institutions largely unprepared to validate the tools. Based on a humanistic vision, the Guidance proposes key steps to the regulation of GenAI tool, including mandating the protection of data privacy, and setting ...

The Asia Foundation (Niki Graziella Baroy, 2023) - Over the past decade, public and private sector institutions have implemented a wide range of digital skilling programs. Given the demand for upskilling and re-skilling the workforce, these programs often have overlapping audiences, objectives, and content. A plethora of digital skilling programs are beneficial to the Asia-Pacific population, but due to a lack of information on the digital skilling landscape, there is a tendency to duplicate existing efforts. To streamline these initiatives, it is essential to address these knowledge gap...
