Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping how work is organised, how skills are defined, and how training systems prepare learners for employment. Across occupational sectors and technical occupations, tasks are being automated, augmented, or newly created, requiring education and training systems to respond rapidly and strategically.
This course is designed to help TVET institutions, educators, and skills policymakers understand these transformations and translate them into practical, ethical, and sustainable training solutions.
Delivered fully online over four weeks, the course equips participants with concrete frameworks to integrate AI into TVET.

The course is structured into four modules:
- Module 1 – AI in Occupational Sectors
- Module 2 – Redesigning TVET Curriculum for AI‑Augmented Learning
- Module 3 – Preparing Students for AI Workplaces
- Module 4 – Instructor Upskilling & Sustainable AI Integration
WHAT WILL I BE ABLE TO DO?
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Analyse how AI reshapes tasks and skills across multiple occupational sectors
- Redesign curricula to integrate AI in pedagogically sound ways
- Apply role‑based AI literacy and ethical frameworks in training
