Background

This concept paper is prepared for the CPSC webinar on the topic “Outreach Program in TVET”. The three main goals of an outreach program are to improve learning, promoting community engagement, and strengthening communities through addressing their needs. An outreach program creates a partnership between the communities and the TVET institutions. Such programs build on each other's strengths and develop their roles as change agents for improving TVET students’ knowledge, civic responsibility, and providing solutions to communities’ problems and needs.

The outreach program provides students with an opportunity to better understand their course content, make them aware of the real world problems, valuing the inputs provided by multiple teachers and also developing their career. Students are always found to be enthusiastic for training in an outreach program with a sense of growing confidence in their abilities and development of skills practices. It is well known fact that the opportunity to apply learned knowledge and skills in real world settings will enhance the students’ occupational competencies.

Outreach programs are now incorporated within the TVET curricula in the most of the TVET systems in the Asia and The Pacific. The outreach program strengthen knowledge and skills gained in the institutions by providing different kind of services to the communities. This will also ultimately enhance the TVET institutions image and gain respect and recognition from the stakeholders and the community people. It is also important for the TVET institutions to evaluate the impact of an outreach program on academic development, personal development, and civic responsibility of TVET students.

Assessing the real needs of community and addressing them, is one of the important tasks for TVET institutions. TVET educations becomes successful, if only those needs identified in the community is addressed by the outreach program.

Thus, CPSC is conducting the webinar to make aware and realize the need of having outreach programs in each subject, manage it, and obtain the results from it.

It will also provide step by step guidelines to conduct outreach program, collecting data of program and skill & knowledge transferred to the community, linking community with the TVET students, and preparing outreach program report.

Background

Co-curricular and extra-curricular activities take care of the students’ different developmental needs such as their sense of moral values and attitudes, skills and creativity. Through their participation in Co-curricular activities, students can learn to communicate, to cooperate with other people and in addition to enrich their life experience. The co-curricular and extra-curricular activities have also facilitated brain development, knowledge acquisition, personality development, and civic development of the students.

Co-curricular Activities or CCAs (sometimes known as Co-curricular Education) refer to those activities and programs that complement the formal education of the students in educational institutions. These activities are usually connected with academic matters and are organized or designed to help the students to have a better understanding of the course, and facilitate their diverse skill development tasks.

Extra-curricular Activities or ECAs (sometimes known as Extra-academic Activities) usually refer to those activities performed by the students that take place outside the regular school curriculum. These activities are generally voluntary and the students do not receive any academic credit or grades out of their participation.

This concept paper is prepared for the CPSC webinar to share knowledge on effective implementation of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in TVET institutions. Thus, CPSC is conducting the webinar to make aware and realize the need of having co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in TVET school to fulfill the aims and objectives of life.

Background

Alumni is one of the important components and is well-established in the TVET sector. Not all TVET institutions have equally understood the value of alumni and this perception needs to be changed because of many benefits it provides. Understanding alumni engagement in the TVET management is vital for the TVET institutions for many reasons like it increases the employability, enhances TVET institute image, it can support in maintaining quality education and provides materials & funds to the institutes. TVET professionals need to broaden the scope and move the focus away from funds only and more on the non-monetary support roles played by TVET alumni. TVET institutions and alumni relationships should be converted into an intentional and mutually beneficial partnership with the purpose of students’ success and betterment of the TVET institutions. Alumni engagement impacts positively on all sides involved- the TVET institution, the alumni and current students. When the TVET institutions go through the international institutional accreditation, alumni plays an important role in convincing the accreditors on their roles, importance, and activities carried by them.

Alumni are seen as valuable as they are the key sources of information to define institute-level strategies and enhance study programs. By having alumni, TVET institutions can develop or revise curriculum involving the alumni members as they know as equally as the industry experts the demand of the latest skills and knowledge in the labor market.

Alumni are one of the key stakeholders for TVET institutions and their contribution to the achievement of TVET institutions strategic goals is evident. In the Asia and Pacific, it is observed that countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand, and Singapore and their TVET institutions have given high importance to alumni and they are managing it very well. Thus, the time has come for all the TVET intuitions to give priority on establishing alumni and get maximum benefits from it. Therefore, CPSC has designed the webinar to share knowledge and practices of Alumni management in TVET institutions and how to strengthen the relation between the two.

Focus

This webinar session is designed to provide concept, good practices, and management of Alumni for maximizing its benefits to the TVET institutions. The Alumni & TVET institutions roles and strategies on strengthening relationships will be explained in the webinar.

Objectives

• Share the concept, good practices, and management of Alumni
• Provide strategies on maximizing the relationship between the Alumni and TVET institutions
