The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the lives of millions. It has caused untold human suffering, delivered a sudden, sharp shock to sectors including retail, hospitality, travel and arts and culture, and placed health services around the world under enormous strain. Education has also been affected. When teaching and learning were forced to move online, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) providers had to fit years of digital learning into a matter of weeks. This mass experiment exposed a digital divide based on income and geography that has long existed. However, with its focus on training and retraining people for the world of work, TVET has also helped to ease the transition to the new normal in work and society. UNESCO-UNEVOC's COVID-19 response project was implemented from January-June 2021 to help TVET institutions to cope with the challenges of the pandemic. Through targeted training for employability, it has supported efforts to reskill and upskill those whose livelihoods have been disrupted by the pandemic and strengthen their capacity to adapt to short and long-term changes. The project also focused on providing training to teachers, managers and technical staff to meet the urgent need for greater digital skills and competencies. This report of the key project results provides a snapshot of activities that helped TVET institutions around the world address the short, medium and long-term effects of the crisis and prepare for the post-COVID-19 era.
