Giving a face to training

This article discusses the idea of using social documentary photography to promote and popularize TVET among future vocational training students. Photography exhibitions that are organized by vocational students and graduates themselves, can serve as a powerful medium to showcase their talent, skills and work life routine to future students, teachers, trainers, parents, industry representatives and policy makers. This has the potential to generate positive interest amongst the public towards TVET and to make it more attractive and inspirational for future students.  To this end, the article provides a photo documentation of training experiences of trainees at select vocational centres.
