BACKGROUND/RATIONALE

The Colombo Plan Staff College (CPSC), as an inter-governmental international organization for TVET in Asia and the Pacific region, continues to promote the development of research capacity as a critical component of institutional improvement, evidence-based decision-making, and innovation in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). In the current environment, TVET institutions are increasingly expected to generate and use research evidence to improve curriculum relevance, training delivery, graduate outcomes, and responsiveness to labor market and industry needs.

Despite this imperative, many TVET practitioners still encounter challenges in transforming institutional concerns into researchable problems, selecting appropriate methods, and producing practical outputs that can lead to policy and program improvement. To address this need, the present program is designed as a focused virtual training initiative that will provide participants with practical tools, structured guidance, and guided task-based learning opportunities. The design is consistent with CPSC’s online capacity-building practice, which emphasizes applied learning, participant engagement, and institutional relevance.

The program allows participants to engage in self-paced completion of session-related tasks between live online sessions. A five-day format with 4 hour synchronous sessions per day is intended to maintain learning intensity while also providing sufficient time for reflection, drafting, and completion of practical outputs.

OBJECTIVES

The program aims to:

• Strengthen participants’ understanding of TVET research as a practical tool for evidence-based institutional development.
• Develop participants’ capability to identify researchable issues and formulate relevant research questions and objectives.
• Equip participants with practical and user-friendly tools for research design, data collection, analysis, and reporting.
• Enable participants to prepare a draft TVET research concept note or mini-proposal relevant to their institutional context.
• Promote the application of research findings in curriculum development, training improvement, institutional planning, and policy support.
• Foster a culture of inquiry, collaboration, and evidence-based practice among TVET professionals in CPSC member countries.

Date: June 29 - July 3, 2026 /
Program Type: Regional Program /

OBJECTIVES

At the end of the program, participants are expected to be able to:

• Analyze regional TVET challenges and opportunities in preparing a future-ready skilled workforce;
• Identify strategies for digital transformation, AI-enabled learning, data-driven TVET governance and future skills development;
• Apply quality assurance, accreditation, benchmarking and APACC 2025 perspectives to institutional improvement;
• Integrate green TVET, climate-responsive skills, inclusion, gender and sustainable development in institutional plans;
• Develop institutional action plans/roadmaps and formulate practical areas of regional cooperation for future-ready skills development

Program Contents

• Module 1: Application of digital tools and methodologies to improve teaching and learning experiences: Explore practical digital tools and strategies to enhance teaching, personalize learning, boost engagement, assess progress, and design inclusive, effective learning experiences across classrooms and online environments.
• Module 2: Smart campus infrastructure for TVET – development of these equipped with IoT: Examine smart campus infrastructure for TVET, integrating IoT, energy management, connectivity, security, and data systems to optimize facilities, sustainability, safety, learning environments, and operational efficiency.
• Module 3: Strategies for integrating advanced manufacturing technologies into TVET curricula: This module examines practical strategies for integrating advanced manufacturing technologies into TVET curricula, focusing on curriculum design, industry alignment, teacher upskilling, and resource planning. Participants learn to embed automation, digital fabrication, and smart systems to enhance practical training, relevance, and graduate employability.
• Module 4: Application of AI and Data Analytics in TVET to enhance training outcomes: Learn how AI and data analytics enhance TVET training through personalized learning, adaptive assessment and data-driven decision-making for improved outcomes and institutional capacity building.
• Module 5: Industry partnerships for digital skill development - collaborations with industry players to align training with digital workforce needs: This module explores how TVET institutions can build effective industry partnerships to develop digital skills. It focuses on collaborative curriculum design, work-based learning, technology transfer, and stakeholder engagement to ensure training remains relevant, responsive, and aligned with current and emerging digital workforce needs.

Workshop, Work Group Assignments & Learning Journey(s)

Following interactive Work Group assignment sessions and facilitated discussions will be convened after each major input:

• GWA: Role-play and practice sessions where participants design or present their own digital TVET lesson ideas.
• Learning journeys: Smart campus, advanced manufacturing, enabling technology, and digital fabrication facilities.
• Work group exchange on institutional practices, constraints, and pathways for TVET 4.0 adoption.
• Country-based Action-plan(s): Development and presentation of individual action plan sessions for peer review.

Action Plan Development

Action planning is the culminating process of the program. Participants are expected to synthesize lessons from the week into country or institution-based action plans. These plans are not merely reporting outputs; they are intended as implementation roadmaps that identify priority areas, expected institutional changes, partnerships needed, and feasible next steps after the program.

In this sense, the process follows a practical input–reflection–application sequence: first, participants receive technical and institutional inputs; second, they analyze and compare them through discussion and exposure visits; and third, they convert learning into structured action plans suited to their own contexts.
