Sustainable Skills Development in Electric Vehicle Technology: TVET Institutions as Catalysts for Global Advancement

Abstract

The emergence of electric vehicle (EV) technology has become a crucial factor in the global economy and is closely tied to the development of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. This review paper explores the role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in promoting sustainable development and social equity. Employing a systematic literature review approach, leveraging a range of secondary data sources, such as peer-reviewed academic articles and industry reports. Reviewed findings indicates that despite progress, gaps persist in preparing the workforce for emerging industries and insufficient social fairness. The study offers recommendations to instructors, policymakers, and industry leaders on integrating sustainability into TVET curricula, policies, and partnerships to enhance its impact on sustainable development. © 2024 IEEE.
