Manpower Planning In Hong Kong, Anthony Cheng
Manpower Planning In Hong Kong, Anthony Cheng
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
1. VTC has been using the Manpower Requirement Approach (MRA) for projecting disaggregate sectoral employment by skill/occupational group. The whole exercise comprises isolated studies of the 25 economic sectors based on employers’ perception of possible trends. 2. Labour Market Analysis (LMA) differs from MRA in terms of both focus and data requirements. LMA focuses on information from all players in the labour market, uses primary as well as other available secondary data, and analyzes data using also econometric models. 3. For consistency, the Task Force has conceptualized an LMA framework, outlined as: Level One Aggregate Economic Level. Level Two Aggregate …
An Examination Of The Concept Of Providing Leadership Development For All Students As An Integral Part Of Classroom Instruction, Jerome I. Leventhal
An Examination Of The Concept Of Providing Leadership Development For All Students As An Integral Part Of Classroom Instruction, Jerome I. Leventhal
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
The concept of having all career/vocational/technical students develop leadership skills in addition to their other salable skills is recognized by both educators and employers. Total student development is necessary for all students to ensure successful roles in society, and to enter the labor market. Incorporating leadership skills in the instruction, improves the quality and relevance of the instruction, develops student leadership, enhances citizenship responsibilities, overcomes sex and race discrimination and stereotyping, and benefits all students including special populations and minorities. Occupational skills need to be enhanced with skills that enable the student to communicate with employers and do well in …

Global E-Learning Tendencies And Possibilities Of Using The Internet For Vocational And Educational Training, Armin Von Gruchalla, Dipl.-Ing. Frank Stauch
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
The Virtual Training Center (VTC) integrates the ideas of media-based learning environments into the idea of the learning platform which has increasingly influenced theoretical discussions at international congresses (e.g. Learntec 2000, Karlsruhe, see www.learntec.de). The VTC simulates a training center in the web and serves as a platform of internet or intranet based courses and self-learning media. Seminars and workshops can be held, media and documents can be worked on and administered and know-how can be exchanged. The basic idea of the VTC is to create a web-based infrastructure which shelters all possibilities of web-based teaching, learning and training.

In Search Of A Governance Framework Of Vocational Education And Training For The 21st Century: An International Comparative Study, Humphry Hung
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
This paper focuses on the governance framework in relation to the decision-making process which designs, moulds and formulates the policy on vocational education and training (VET) to meet the needs of various industrial and commercial sectors in Hong Kong. There has been a long history of an apparently close relationship among government, businessmen and academics who form a tripartite alliance in making decisions on VET within the framework of the government’s co-optation strategies. Such a triple alliance may be regarded as a necessary and desirable outcome of the political system and environment in Hong Kong. It may also be a …

Issues which will be discussed will include maximising national capabilities through training and cooperative activities such as articulation and recognition of courses across national borders, identifying competencies …
The Impact Of Globalisation And The Changing Nature Of Work On Vocational Education And Training, Chris Robinson
The Impact Of Globalisation And The Changing Nature Of Work On Vocational Education And Training, Chris Robinson
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
The world is changing fast these days. Globalisation of economies and rapid technological change critically affects all countries. The education and training systems in all countries have had difficulties in keeping up with the pace of change, yet it is vital that they do so. Some of the key technical skills we will need in 20 years time do not yet exist. This poses tremendous problems and challenges for the provision of education and training (VET). Several new research studies released by the Australian National Centre for Vocational Education Research have examined the implications of the globalisation and the changing …

Thirsty Horses And Public Waterholes, Joyce Marie Turnbull
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
This paper deals with the challenges for vocational education and training administrators in the Northern Territory of Australia to respond to calls for action to address apparently opposing needs and forces. Issues considered include the incongruity of development theory and globalisation theory in the context of the Australian outback; the provision of effective training and employment programs to a largely traditional Indigenous population in remote Northern Territory communities; the clash between strategic planning in governmental and organisational contexts and the transmitted Indigenous world picture; the ambiguity of training for employment or the establishment of an enterprise culture in the remote …
Regional Integration Of Tvet Systems Among Small Island States: Caribbean Initiatives, Tom Mcardle
Regional Integration Of Tvet Systems Among Small Island States: Caribbean Initiatives, Tom Mcardle
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
States in the Caribbean Community (Caricom) are exploring regional integration of TVET as a means of improving the quality of training to enable improved worker performance and labour market mobility of workers in the region. This involves reaching a consensus on (1) the basis for design of training programmes, e.g. the approach to standards, use of ompetency-based approaches, etc., and (2) the framework for recognition and certification of trainees/workers that facilitates upward mobility and lifelong learning. Current efforts to achieve regional integration are discussed with issues and problems highlighted for discussion.
Integration Of General Education Into The Vocational Training Curriculum, Kwok Hung Lai
Integration Of General Education Into The Vocational Training Curriculum, Kwok Hung Lai
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
As our economy is moving towards knowledge-based post-industrial era, graduates need to re-equip themselves to meet with rapidly changing expectations of employers and society. Vocational education institutions also need to provide a seamless learning experience to students and enhance their lifelong learning abilities. General education should form an integral part of the total education experience, instead of ad hoc extra-curricular activity. It should be well integrated into the existing vocational training curriculum. This paper discusses the arguments for such grounds and suggests how this can be implemented.

Quantitative Evaluation Of The Educational Programmes On Students’ Awareness Of Social Responsibility, Loky Tsui, Sau-Wan, Teresa Lee Wong
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
As discrimination and hazardous working conditions have been constituting social costs in the Hong Kong economy, legislative progress in enforcing equal opportunity, safety and health at work becomes obvious with the enactment of discrimination ordinances and the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance in 1997. Educational programmes were being conducted for students to realise such social responsibility soon after they graduate. The evaluation of the educational programmes is based on the empirical data collected after the delivery of educational packages.
Exploration Of The Aboriginal Vocational Training Implementation Stratagem From The Outlook Of The "Tribal Classroom", Chin-Hung Chou
Exploration Of The Aboriginal Vocational Training Implementation Stratagem From The Outlook Of The "Tribal Classroom", Chin-Hung Chou
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
In recent years, the economic development and the changes in the industrial structures in Taiwan have caused the agriculture-based production structure to breakdown among the aboriginal people of Taiwan. Employment opportunities in the traditional tribal villages have declined sharply and a great numbers of people have moved out of the villages. Foreign laborers have also created a high rate of unemployment among the aboriginal people and has weakened and limited their ability to compete with others. Therefore, in order to increase Taiwan aborigines' employment competence and employment opportunities, this article will be based on the perspective of the "tribal classroom" …
Adapting The System Of Continuing Vocational Education For The 3rd Industrial Revolution: Experiences From The Swedish Pilot Project With Ave, Mats Lindell
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
This paper analyses problems associated with adapting the system of continuing vocational education (CVT) to the rapidly changing Swedish labour market. The key question asked in the paper is how CVT is going to adapt to a labour market characterised by a growing ITeconomy. The paper also presents empirical data from the pilot project in Sweden called Advanced Vocational Education. AVE is a new form of post-secondary education designed to meet changing technology and skill requirements. The paper concludes that AVE is a step in the right direction in decreasing the gap between demand and supply.

Role Of Supported Services In The Provision Of Vocational Training For Open Employment To People With Disabilities In Hong Kong, Woon-Ching, Eliza Lo Chan
International Vocational Education and Training Association (IVETA) Conference
The performance indicator for training for open employment is on how successfully the trainee is being employed in a job. Other than providing the job skills required which was always the emphasis in the vocational training, there are other issues, equally important, that should be addressed to prepare the trainees to enter into the competitive open job market. Independent and social skills should be strengthened through programmed activities. Attention should also be paid to minimize the mismatch between skills training and job opportunities to the trainees. Based on the provision in the skills centres for the people with disabilities aiming …
