Just Published: Virtual conference report on measuring the return on investment in TVET
The virtual conference report on “Measuring the return on investment in TVET” is now online. The virtual conference took place from 9 to 16 May 2016 on the UNEVOC TVeT Forum and was moderated by Phil Loveder and John Stanwick from the National Centre for Vocational Education Research in Australia.
The virtual conference sought to inform the wider technical and vocational education and training (TVET) community about a collaborative research project currently undertaken by the NCVER and UNESCO-UNEVOC which aims to explore the different benefits from investing in TVET and ways to measure the return on investment in TVET across a range of countries, and the virtual conference was an opportunity for the community to share their ideas, expertise and experiences with the research team.
The questions addressed during the virtual conference include:
- How could information on Return on Investment benefit the TVET system of your country?
- Which types of Return on Investment are most important or relevant to your own country’s context?
- What are some of the challenges when comparing ROI in TVET across different countries? How do we take into account the differing political, cultural and educational contexts when comparing returns?
- What data sources are currently available in your country to measure the ROI in TVET? What are the gaps and how can these gaps be addressed?
- Towards an ROI Framework: What should a suitable framework look like?
