Exploring a Work-Based Values Approach in South African TVET Colleges to Improve Employability of Youth – a literature review
Notwithstanding the much expanded access to South Africa’s tertiary education in the past decade, youth employability remains a national concern. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges, predominantly attended by marginalised Black African youth, are best positioned to build a bridge between education and the labour market, and, as a result, improve the employability of young people.
In this literature review, JET Education Services considers this opportunity for systemic change from a perspective that, they believe, is largely under-researched in South Africa as well as internationally. This, with a focus on student, lecturer and employer values related to working and workplaces.
