Selection of Promising Practices

Each Promising Practice addresses one of the following themes:

• Developing quality TVET systems for youth employment and decent work
• Improving the image of TVET
• Promoting entrepreneurial learning in TVET
• Enhancing women’s and girls’ access to TVET programmes and providing equal opportunities in the world of work
• Ensuring equal access to the TVET system for all, including disadvantaged and vulnerable groups
• Supporting teacher and trainer initial and continuous development
• Promoting education for sustainable development
• Improving skills education through use of technology and preparing learners for a digital world

To help identify and select potential Promising Practices in TVET, UNESCO-UNEVOC developed a set of assessment indicators. The main prerequisite for a Promising Practice is that the innovative and effective strategies applied provide valuable insight for TVET practitioners and stakeholders.

In addition, the following qualities are considered when determining eligibility as a Promising Practice:

• Impact – positive outcome in the TVET sector at a local, national, or regional level
• Knowledge base - the aims, processes, and impact are well documented and valid information is readily available
• Stakeholder engagement - active cooperation between various partners in combination with ownership of the initiative by local stakeholders
• Sustainability - effective management to ensure continuity and success in subsequent years
• Relevance to Sustainable Development Goals - focus on SDG4: Education (Target 4.3, 4.4, or 4.5), SDG5 on Gender Equality, or SDG8 on Decent Work.
