In the Asia-Pacific region, TVET graduates emerge as prized resources for industries and institutions. Recently, more and more private entities have been tapping these resources.

Realizing the importance of an inclusive TVET development, this step is a big leap towards better and up-to-date planning, management, and improvement of the TVET system.
