Background

The globalization era inflicts potential impact and implications for TVET systems. As a consequence of advances in transportation, communication, and information technologies, the implications of globalization for TVET include the areas of, for example, standardization, policies, skills and personal development, curriculum design, social and culture, pedagogical innovations, and resource mobilization.

The world of TVET is undergoing substantial change to reconsider the role of TVET systems in a more globalized accentuated by interlinkages among social, economic and environmental issues. This change reflects the role to achieve several targets of Sustainable Development Goal 4 referring directly to technical and vocational skills by 2030. However, the role of rapidly growing technology provides not only new opportunities but also disruptions in unprecedented changes. The essential question is how adapting to change when taking on the key challenges and opportunities facing TVET.

The 5th UPI International Conference on Technical and Vocational Education and Training focuses on “Globalization, challenges, and disruptions in TVET”, to discuss key challenges and adaptation strategy to changes on technical and vocational education practices in the region and beyond. Organized by the Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education and TVET Research Center (TVETRC), Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia in collaboration with Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ), Universitas Palangkaraya and Universitas Negeri Padang (UNP), the conference will take place in Bandung, Indonesia, on 11-12 September 2018. It provides a forum for knowledge and experience exchange, and invites TVET scholars, practitioners, decision makers, and stakeholders from all parts of society and all regions of the world to share their knowledge, experiences, concepts, examples of good practice, and critical analysis with their international peers.
