Innovative and Promising Practices in TVET
UNESCO-UNEVOC acts as a clearinghouse for innovative and promising practices in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Each practice shows how TVET can be designed and delivered to address contextual challenges, presents the enabling conditions for success and provides a snapshot of the positive impact on communities. You can search by keyword, region or theme.
Work-based learning and skills demonstrations during COVID-19
In Finland, TVET students learn and are assessed by a teacher and working life representative in work-based situations where they must demonstrate skills and competencies through practical tasks in order to graduate from their course. Therefore, making work-based learning opportunities available was of great importance once the COVID-19 crisis began.
The COVID-19 crisis not only caused TVET institutions to transition to distance learning, but also affected the operations of the companies and organizations where students complete their work-based training. It was important to find flexible solutions that would allow work-based learning and skills demonstrations to continue despite the crisis, and thus ensure students' graduation.
