Accelerating TVET/CTE Transformation: From Ideas to Action
Online Discussion and Roundtable | 16:00 – 18:00 CET | World Youth Skills Day
Across the world, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET/CTE) is helping learners build meaningful, skilled careers and supporting more inclusive and resilient economies. Yet too often these pathways are misunderstood or undervalued, assessment systems create barriers rather than bridges, employer engagement is uneven, and schools lack practical tools to implement change.
In December 2025, a group of representatives from the VET sector and key industries in countries participating in the OECD's Program for International Student Assessment for Vocational Education and Training (PISA-VET) met in Salzburg for the session, Skills for Tomorrow: Building the Next Generation of Vocational Learning. Over five days, they looked at challenges and issues relating to scalable solutions and assessment, inclusion, alignment with industry, support for educators, and changing public perception around vocational education.

Overview
We invite education leaders, employers, policymakers, and partners to join a focused two-hour online discussion that will share ideas, outcomes, and new resources from the Salzburg program designed to help strengthen TVET/CTE systems. Building on recent collaborative work, this session will move beyond discussion toward concrete actions, pilots, and partnerships.
During the roundtable, participants will explore five connected priorities:
- Shifting the narrative: practical messaging, parent, educator, and employer toolkits, and media strategies that elevate the value of skilled careers
- Inclusive, scalable assessment: approaches that recognize skill growth wherever they
- Broader approaches to inclusion in TVET
- Employer partnership: simple, structured ways for industry to engage, with clear value, tools, and shared metrics
- Implementation support: adaptable templates, prototypes, and repositories that help schools and centers put ideas into practice quickly
Who should join
TVET/CTE practitioners, system leaders, employers and industry associations, policymakers, researchers, and organizations working to expand opportunity for learners.
If you would like to help shape practical, scalable solutions and collaborate across sectors, we would be delighted to have you join us.
