Technical and vocational education and training plays a key role in ensuring equitable, sustainable and peaceful development. The UNESCO-UNEVOC medium-term strategy 2024-2026 — Elevating TVET for a just and sustainable future for all — lays the groundwork to support Member States in empowering youth and adults with the skills for employment, decent work, entrepreneurship and global citizenship, while providing flexible pathways to lifelong learning opportunities for all. These actions contribute directly to the UNESCO strategy for TVET 2022-2029 and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
Through partnerships with international organizations, governments, UNEVOC Centres, the private sector and TVET stakeholders, UNESCO-UNEVOC is implementing a transformative TVET agenda that recognizes the impact of a green and digital future and the need for reskilling and upskilling of the workforce to keep pace with changing global trends.
