Measuring the Return on Investment in TVET. Report of the UNESCO-UNEVOC Virtual Conference, 9-16 May 2016
UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training
Sustainable Development Goals call on Members States to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all" and sets a number of targets related to technical and vocational education and training (TVET). In order to collect input from the global TVET community, UNESCO-UNEVOC organized a virtual conference from May 9-16, 2016 on the UNEVOC TVeT Forum. Moderated by Phil Loveder and John Stanwick from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research in Australia, a UNEVOC Centre, this virtual conference sought to inform the wider TVET community about a current research project currently undertaken by the NCVER. The collaborative research project aims to identify and highlight key issues in the measurement of the return on investment in TVET, and the virtual conference was an opportunity for the community to share their ideas, expertise and experiences with the research team. This virtual conference was the fifteenth in a series of moderator-driven discussions introduced by UNESCO-UNEVOC in 2011. Conducted on the UNEVOC TVeT Forum--a global online community of over 4,500 members--and guided by an expert, these discussions provide a platform for sharing of experiences, expertise and feedback. A list of participants is included.
Descriptors: Outcomes of Education, Videoconferencing, Vocational Education, Research Projects, Measurement Techniques, Measurement Objectives, Evaluation Problems, Discourse Communities, Communities of Practice, Comparative Analysis, Information Sources, Data, Models, International Education
