This Trends Mapping Study (TMS) on New Qualifications and Competencies (NQC) in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is part of the ‘Bridging Innovation and Learning in TVET’ (BILT) project. This project is carried out in collaboration with members of the UNEVOC Network. It is coordinated by UNESCO-UNEVOC with support of the German Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) and sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). BILT aims to support TVET institutions in their efforts to address challenges arising from current global trends. These include the digitalization of the workplace and the training cycle, the transition to green and sustainable economies, a growing focus on the benefits of entrepreneurial learning, and the increase in migration which is putting a greater demand on TVET stakeholders to provide relevant training solutions. The COVID-19 pandemic poses additional challenges for TVET and the world of work.
