Présentation du cours
TVET is positioning itself as a valid solution to the traditional workforce shortage issue as well as to the rapid changes in the labor market. However, in many countries, it is still considered a second choice, and the lack of proper guidance often exacerbates the situation. This course aims to provide insights into national frameworks for career guidance, with a focus on TVET systems.
Groupes cibles
Professionals active in the definition and implementation of public policies for skills development systems: - Employees of ministries of TVET, employment, finance or other "training" ministries - Representatives of employers' and workers' organizations - Members of civil society organizations - Representatives of independent institutions (observatories, agencies, funds, etc.) - Managers of TVET systems, trainers and guidance counsellors - Staff of international cooperation institutions and agencies
Why this course matters
In today’s rapidly evolving world of work—shaped by artificial intelligence, the green transition, and shifting employment models—career development support has become essential. People everywhere face more frequent and complex transitions between education, training, and employment. Strengthening systems that help workers and learners navigate these changes is crucial for achieving inclusive, adaptable, and resilient labour markets.
This course responds to that global need. It builds participants’ capacity to design and implement effective career development systems and services that bridge the gap between education and the labour market—contributing directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals on decent work, lifelong learning, and social inclusion.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Adapt national and institutional career development systems to global and technological changes.
- Apply innovative approaches to connect education, training, and employment pathways.
- Plan and implement measures to improve access, quality, and coordination in career guidance systems.
