Technical training institutions have been urged to take up the Cooperative Vocational Training (CVET) model. Based on the dual system of vocational education and training, the model offers a holistic approach to skills development for local industry by combining apprenticeship in manufacturing firms and education at a vocational institute, providing an enhanced private sector cooperation in skills development.
CVET focuses on developing a comprehensive partnership between Technical, Vocational, Education and Training (TVET) institutes and companies. It combines theoretical and simulated practical training in TVET institutes with workplace-based learning in the companies.
