Vocational‐Technical Training Initiatives in Economic Development, Employment and Labour Market Operations

Abstract

Vocational and technical training have long been critical elements of skill development. An emerging realisation is that such training js an integral element of economic development of a nation, a region, a city, or a local community. In manpower terms, vocational‐technical training is the means for developing a competitive workforce that is continuously being restocked by renewing its skills and readying new entrants for competitive employment.
