TVET Emerging Trends in Kenya

TVET Emerging Trends in Kenya – Check below:

  1. 1. Trend 1: Demographic changing …Aging, migration bring changing in labor force Changing Population Structure. Increase in average life span and declining birthrates are creating aging societies, as well as increasingly urbanized populations, which leads to greater disparities between urban and rural.
  2. 2. Trend 2: Economic Globalization …Changing global value chain requires new thinking Economic Globalization is another clear trend. Capital, talent and knowledge continue to flow around the world faster and faster, while the influence of international organizations and multi-national corporations also continues to increase.
  3. 3. Trend 3: Internet Everywhere …Virtual activities lead new business models and norms Ubiquitous Internet. The influence of the burgeoning development of the internet on the future global economy grows deeper every day. Because the Net creates unlimited business opportunities, its assault on established legal, social, and cultural norms will be even more clear than it has for the past ten years. The explosive growth in the quality and quantity of information available, as well as information security, will become even more urgent issues continuously shaking up real-world behavior patterns.
  4. 4. Trend 4: Cross-disciplinary technology integration …Integration aims for innovations based on user needs Cross-disciplinary Technology Integration. In terms of industrial development, individual technologies already cannot satisfy needs, driving the creation of major cross-disciplinary technology integrations that are more and more strongly connected to social and human aspirations.
  5. 5. Trend 5: Environmentalism …Value environment / low-impact manufacturing Agile Manufacturing and environmental concerns. Raising precision manufacturing ability with increasing automation and flexibility has already become a main method of competition between countries facing labor shortages. This kind of agile manufacturing is also necessary to meet today’s need for commodities of various types but small volume.
  6. 6. Trend 6: Natural Resource usage efficiency …Sustainable usage and allocation Natural Resource Usage Efficiency. Over the next ten years resources such as water, oil and food will continue to have different degrees of influence. How to reasonably and efficiency utilize water resources, successfully develop alternative energy sources and stabilize food supplies, will be key factors for increasing economic growth
  7. 7. Focus of Business Technology Structure Who is expected to initiate change? 1980s 1990s 2000s Production Mechanical hierarchic Senior managers Serving the Customer Electronic teams Middle manager Speed and profitability of innovation integrated networks Qualified workers
  8. 8. Distinct challenges for TVET, in terms of acclimatizing to;  Financial restructuring as Asia-pacific regional countries  Competition in education and training markets as citizens seek the best educational opportunities, especially with entry of foreign education providers in the domestic market  The access and exit of skills embodied in people due to migration flows.

  9. 9. TVET being major resource consumer takes on a complex and distinctive character with regard to sustainable development. TVET constantly included elements of sustainability, especially in the way scarce training materials were conserved and waste materials were disposed. Example: Overconsumption of such consumer goods such as paper leads to deforestation, this is thought to be related to global climate change
