About the presentation
This presentation examines the trajectory and evolution of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) policies in Brazil, highlighting the importance of intersectoral public policies and collaboration among diverse stakeholders. It explores how TVET is structured, the key challenges in aligning education with workforce demands, and the opportunities to expand access to quality technical education and work-based learning.
