Background

The theme Driving Digital Technology in TVET refers to the necessity of incorporating cutting- edge digital technologies into the world of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). This movement is motivated by the need to have a workforce that is proficient in and literate in digital technology. This theme's summary centres on the strategic integration of digital technologies including virtual reality, IR 4.0 curriculum: Digital technology, e-learning platforms, data analytics, and cybersecurity education, within the TVET curriculum. Within the context of digital technology, a range of curriculum-related challenges brings to fore varied relevant issues in TVET. These challenges arise due to the unique nature of the Digital Technology sector, characterized by its rapid evolution and dynamic nature. One significant challenge involves is keeping abreast with the latest industry trends and emerging technologies. The field of Digital Technology is constantly evolving, with new programming languages, frameworks, tools, and methodologies frequently emerging. Curriculum developers must continuously update their programs to reflect these changes, ensuring that students are learning relevant skills that are applicable in the current job market.
