Hunan Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) Demonstration Project

This ADB project delivered 412 TVET occupational and skill training courses covering 17 sectors. The courses were awarded “Excellent Online TVET Courses” by the Hunan Provincial Government and taken by more than 800,000 TVET students in poor counties in the province. In addition, more than 786 training courses were revised using the competency-based curriculum. Through the teacher competency training for 13 TVET institutions, the share of technical instructors with dual certification (academic qualifications and skills) increased from 44.5% in 2013 to 52% by the end of 2018. Also, more than 95% of the students graduating from the 13 TVET schools were employed within 6 months of graduation in the past two years (2021-2022).
