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.

The Digital TVET Learning Platform
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government of Malaysia issued a ‘Movement Control Order’ to limit interactions and prevent the spread of the deadly virus.
This included closing educational institutions to face-to-face learning. Educators became worried about how they were going to continue delivering their course curriculum, and students became anxious about graduating on time.
These restrictions were particularly felt in the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) sector due to its emphasis on practical skills and hands-on training. As such, new norms in teaching and learning practices had to be established.
To address this challenge, UTHM developed an online learning platform for TVET courses. Through exposure to the platform, teachers were able to expand their access to open educational resources (OER), strengthen their digital skills and learn how to produce their own digital content.
