The UNESCO-UNEVOC TVET Leadership Programme 2023 will be offered online and covers three key dimensions that are essential for TVET leaders to become change agents:
- strategic knowledge: “vision for change”,
- thematic knowledge: “knowledge for change”, and
- leadership and management skills: “skills for change”.
The programme is designed to sharpen leaders’ vision, share up-to-date TVET knowledge and trends and provide a platform for skills development. Each dimension will be carefully curated, with presenters, panel discussions and networking opportunities on a range of selected topics across four core modules.
