Skills for Development: A New Approach to International Cooperation in Skills Development?
McGrath, Simon
Journal of Vocational Education & Training, v54 n3 p413-30 2002
Technical and vocational education and training was a central tool of international cooperation in economic development from the 1950s to the 1980s. Recent changes have shifted the focus to skills development, with a broader conceptualization of skills, the need for responsiveness to globalization, and new models of international development focused on poverty reduction and sectoral programs.
