The failure of Korea's specialized high schools to adapt to shifting needs of industries and expectations of students have contributed to a labor and skill shortage especially affecting small and medium enterprises (SME).

South Africa. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to Empower Secondary School Learners from Low Socioeconomic Backgrounds 

South Africa. Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to Empower Secondary School Learners from Low Socioeconomic Backgrounds  | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) predisposes one to vulnerability as it entangles many challenges such as financial and low opportunities. Youths from low socioeconomic backgrounds often encounter steep adversities that may potentially halt their educational pursuits. Without the right and necessary empowerment coined as skill development within the high school system, these youths may remain vulnerable to poverty, socially reliant and dependent on government support and grants. Therefore, the researchers propose a paradigm shift in the South African educational system to ensure that these learners do not lag in their learning. An effective program that will target their academic and practical skills needs is necessary to motivate them to learn and empower them to achieve financial independence, self-reliance, and productivity. Skills development in TVET will be the glue between their education and the world of work for these learners. Thus, the purpose of the study was to advocate for TVET provision as an empowering tool to elevate the Socioeconomic Status of the learners from a low socioeconomic background at a Johannesburg school. The target population was youths from a low socioeconomic background.

Australia. Vocational Education and Training in Senior Secondary Education, Western Australia

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

It has been acknowledged that students may wish to include VET in their senior secondary program as a means of career exploration, a mechanism for achieving senior secondary graduation or to become more competitive in the workplace, further education, training or employment. Schools may view VET as a strategy for retaining and/or engaging students in senior secondary education or to ‘value add’ to a senior school program. Alternatively, industry may factor VET in schools as a part of an overall workforce development strategy providing students with basic skills for a future within the industry.
