Research plays a pivotal role in shaping policy decisions, enhancing education, and meeting the dynamic demands of industries globally. TVET International specialises in various critical areas. We excel in skills gap analysis, fostering industry partnerships, and integrating technology into education. Additionally, we assess the impact of TVET programs on both individuals and economies, striving for equitable access and effectiveness in policies. Our focus spans international perspectives, encompassing trends, comparative studies, and adapting TVET to the evolving job market. Furthermore, we delve into evaluating assessment tools, methodologies, and quality assurance mechanisms to refine education systems worldwide.

We are experts in the creation and reform of strategic policy that reflects the educational requirements of governments and/or organisations. To ensure success, this includes current system evaluation, recommendations, implementation and monitoring of new systems and frameworks. 

Apprenticeships and internships offer valuable opportunities for individuals to gain practical experience, explore career pathways and develop professional skills.  Our team specialises in the development of these structured, on-the-job training programmes, successfully preparing graduates for the world of work.

We undertake workforce and organisational development, including research and reporting, to inform strategic plans and learning and development strategies.  Our consultants work with organisations to identify and analyse their current and future workforce needs, identifying any gaps and working with you to build a plan to address these gaps.

We work with organisations to help them establish technical and behavioural competency frameworks that identify skills for their organisations and industries. Competency frameworks provide a structure and a set of standards for the key behaviours and competences organisations would like to develop, informing all aspects of the employee life cycle.

TVET International designs and develops qualifications. This means that we can develop occupational standards that link into formal qualifications and accreditation frameworks. Alternatively, we can develop organisational occupational standards that support career development and progression.

Micro-credentials and digital credentials play a vital role in recognising, validating, and communicating skills and achievements in a way that is tailored to the needs of the digital age and the evolving job market.  These bite sized chunks of learning encourage life-long learning providing learners with flexibility in their learning pathway and allowing for a more personalised approach. Our team at TVET International are experts in the development of micro-credentials, digital badges, certificates, and more.     

Assessment is an integral part of the teaching and learning process. TVET programs are designed to equip learners with practical skills and knowledge needed for specific occupations or trades and assessment plays a crucial role in evaluating and measuring the knowledge, skills, and competencies of these individuals. Competency-based assessment is a highly specialised field in which TVET International consultants have extensive knowledge and experience, helping to ensure learners are well equipped for the demands of the workforce, and bridging the gap between education and industry by ensuring learners acquire the practical skills and competencies needed for successful employment.

Quality assurance in education is essential for maintaining and enhancing the credibility and effectiveness of educational systems. It helps build public trust, ensures that educational outcomes meet societal needs, and contributes to the continuous development of the education sector.

TVET International works with organisations to design monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and to quality assure education solutions. In this way we work with our clients to enhance the overall effectiveness, efficiency, and relevance of education, ultimately contributing to positive learning outcomes for learners.

Quality instructional design is important to ensure that learning experiences are carefully planned, efficiently delivered, and effectively facilitate the achievement of learning objectives.

Our instructional designers work closely with our clients to analyse learning needs and goals, and then to design instructional material and activities that empower trainers to create engaging and impactful learning experiences that support the success of learners in various educational and training contexts. We work across the spectrum of learning environments including online, classroom, one-on-one and on-job to design learning experiences that are engaging, interactive, and facilitate learning outcomes.
