This book was released on 2012-12-09 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the Asia-Pacific region, which in recent years has been the engine of global economic growth , this volume surveys trends and prospects in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) with particular reference to achieving inclusive growth and the greening of economies. Underlying the increasing pressure for new models of TVET provision is the rapid pace of technological change, demand for a work force which is highly responsive to evolving needs and a transforming market place that calls for higher order skills and lifelong learning. The book proposes a re-engineered, modernized TVET system that fosters an innovative approach which enhances the employability of workers as well as the sustainability of their livelihoods. The book includes contributions from leading policy makers, researchers, and practitioners, including those in the private sector in analyzing and forecasting the most urgent priorities in skills development. The book argues for creative approaches to TVET design and delivery particularly with a view to improve job prospects , and meeting the goals of inclusion, sustainable development and social cohesion. Addressing issues such as the chronic mismatches between skills acquired and actual skills required in the work place, the volume proposes diversified approaches towards workforce development and partnerships with the private sector to improve the quality and relevance of skills development . The new imperatives created by ‘greening’ economies and responses required in skills development and training are addressed. Developing TVET is a high priority for governments in the Asia Pacific region as they seek to achieve long-term sustainable growth since the .continued success of their economic destinies depend on it. The volume also includes an emerging framework for skills development for inclusive and sustainable growth in the Asia and Pacific region.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The realization of the need for reform in Australia's vocational education and training (VET) system stems largely from changing economic circumstances and a changing industrial relations environment. The reforms are intended to provide the following: national coherence in training arrangements and outcomes, improved quality and more widespread provision, greater flexibility in training delivery, a stronger focus on the needs of industry, participation by disadvantaged groups, and increased public recognition of the value of training. A central aspect of the reforms is the establishment of a competency-based training system. The National Training Reform Agenda has established the directions for future development of VET in Australia. Components of the new system include the following: competency-based training; development of National Competency Standards; Australian Standards Framework; Australian Qualifications Framework; National Framework for Recognition of Training; development of training curriculum; flexible delivery of training; convergence of general and vocational education; and increasing the involvement of young people in education and training. Other important aspects of the new national training system are the promotion of closer linkages between vocational education institutions and industries and improved participation of special social groups. (Illustrative best practice examples show the new system in action. Appendixes contain a glossary and 58 references.) (YLB)

Download or read book Transitions from Education to Work written by Roslyn Cameron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labour markets are becoming more dynamic in response to pressures from globalisation, new technologies and trade agreements, as well as cross-border migration, inter-generation differences, changing education imperatives and employer expectations. By focusing on several Asia Pacific countries, this book explores the differences in their workforces: ageing, or abundant in labour but lacking in skilled employees. One similarity these countries share is the difficulty in attracting and retaining employees with the required skillset and capabilities, and these constraints can stymie national economic growth and long term development. This book brings together national and international perspectives on employability challenges faced by selected countries in the Asia Pacific region. While the region is forecast to enjoy high growth in the coming decade, a recurring challenge is addressing skill shortages and ensuring effective transition from training colleges and universities into employment. Consequently, the book focuses on the roles of multiple stakeholders, primarily: governments, education providers and employers – in more effectively addressing these key socio-economic challenges.

This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his many years of overseas experiences as an international student, educator and scholar, Teofilo C Daquila has conducted his research on the internationalisation of higher education (IHE), as it has become an important policy issue and research topic for governments and universities around the world. He aims to determine the extent of internationalisation of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region particularly in Australia, Singapore and Japan in terms of its determinants and impacts using a multi- and inter-disciplinary framework of analysis, through historical, political, geographical, economic, social, and cultural dimensions.Daquila examines three leading universities in the world as case studies to determine their internationalisation experiences and the extent of their competitiveness. These are the University of Melbourne, the National University of Singapore, and Kyoto University. He uses four indicators of competitiveness: governance and structure, demand conditions, factor conditions, and internationalisation strategies (using the following indicators of IHE: expansion, broadening/diversification, deepening and facilitation).This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in the internationalisation of higher education, its determinants and multiple perspectives, the competitiveness and internationalisation experiences and strategies of universities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A project considered issues that might contribute toward raising the status of technical and vocational education (TVE) in Asia and the Pacific region. It also provided a review of TVE in Australia, Bangladesh, China, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Researchers involved in the project endeavored to provide a number of examples of best practice that might act as models for other countries desiring to improve the status of TVE. The countries showed considerable variation with regard to their stage of development, country economic conditions, the state and approach to the provision of TVE, and the problems that affected these countries. Issues addressed in the case studies included strategies to innovate TVE systems to cope with changing demands of the labor market caused by national economic development; policies to promote close linkages between TVE institutions and industry; efforts to include entrepreneurial orientation and skills in TVE; measures to improve teacher quality; procedures to promote articulation between TVE and the education system; and policies to improve the participation of special social groups in TVE. These factors were found to affect the status of TVE: articulation, recognition of learning, broad based training, curriculum, quality, teachers, industry linkages, and duplication. (The report begins with lists of researchers and the case studies and concludes with the recommendations.) (YLB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together informed analyses on the challenges of critical skill shortages (CSS) in the Asia-Pacific region, this book provides 14 country reports to discuss the critical jobs and skills to achieve long-term policies and approaches towards realising the United Nations sustainable development goals (SDGs). The contributors of the volume discuss the workforce projections and planning, existing programmes that address the skills and jobs needed, and workforce policy challenges that need to be addressed to achieve the SDGs. The book identifies two types of CSS present in the workforce: one being skilled labour shortages in existing industries and the second being soft skills like critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Extending the discussion beyond immediate skill shortages, the book assesses longer-term policies and approaches to tackle the 2030 United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. This book will interest researchers in the fields of human resource management and development, international business, development studies, and policymakers from the Asia-Pacific region.
