Abstract

Today, no issue is as important to a global community's continued prosperity as education. Research has illustrated those societies who invest in a 21st century education benefits immediately by transforming an outdated system to a more sustainable approach. As the primary consumer of the world's education system, the business community needs capable, enterprising employees to compete in a global economy. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) educators worldwide must develop challenging and relevant learning environments to prepare the future workforce of tomorrow. This strategy must incorporate workforce and economic development policies in K-12 education to be sustainable. The intent of this paper is to highlight challenges that are facing the future of the global workforce and provide guidance for a more sustainable TVET system. Twenty first century pedagogy and employability skills, universally accepted certifications, public-private partnerships, and program outcomes which have the potential to significantly increase a workforce prepared to thrive in rapidly changing times will be emphasized.
