The digitalization of diverse aspects of our daily lives is not something new, but a process that began decades ago with the introduction of mainframe computers in large companies. However, the scale and intensity with which this process has been taking place recently is unprecedented. The apex of these changes in TVET is materialized in Industry 4.0, prompted by the automation of industrial and administrative processes and the introduction of cyber-physical systems. This hybrid human-digital organization of work requires TVET, which lies at the intersection of work and education, to synthesize, process and provide timely solutions for challenges that arise.
