Gender Equality & Ethics
"Gender equality in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) can help address skills shortages, promote economic growth, and challenge gender stereotypes."
Benefits of Gender Equality in TVET
Promoting inclusivity creates a stronger, more resilient vocational environment for everyone.
Diversifies the Workforce
Gender equality in TVET helps address labor market shortages and mismatches by increasing the pool of available skilled workers, ensuring talent is not left untapped.
Inclusive Development
It drives sustainable development by ensuring that all people, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to participate meaningfully in the labor market and economy.
Empowers Women & Girls
Access to quality TVET enables women and girls to make informed, independent choices about their education paths and future careers, leading to financial independence.
Challenges Stereotypes
Active promotion of equality helps dismantle long-standing gender stereotypes, particularly by normalizing the presence of women in male-dominated technical fields.
