Demand-Driven Approaches in Vocational Education and Training
Author: Muthuveeran RamasamyPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3658125101
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Muthuveeran Ramasamy shows that the formal way of vocational education and training (VET) in rural areas often ignores the illiterate, the less educated, and the poor. The author demonstrates that VET programs need to be demand-driven and consider the socio-economic aspects of particular regions. Therefore, the significance of the study at grassroots level helps customize VET programs to respond to the demand of the individuals’ vocational training needs of rural people by keeping their endogenous needs at the centre of vocational skill development processes. The findings and lessons learnt from action research are also intensively discussed as guiding principles of demand-driven approaches from the learners’/societal perspectives.

Book Description
The Economic Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture presents the full text of an article entitled "Skills Training and Manufacturing Innovations Are Key to Raising Rural Workers' Wages." The article is from the December 2000 issue of the magazine "Rural Conditions and Trends." Manufacturing innovations have been linked to higher wages in both rural and urban areas. Low-wage workers, who tend to be more concentrated in rural areas, are less likely to receive training than are higher wage workers.

Vocational Training Needs in Rural Communities

ISBN:
Category : Agricultural education
Languages : en
Pages : 80
Book Description
This bibliographical research study surveys recent literature on specific vocational training needs prevailing in rural communities and the most effective means of satisfying those needs. It also charts out a general overview of the vocational training situation in rural areas in the Member States of the European Community and in Spain and Portugal. Part One identifies the major objectives of training--those which derive from the component parts of the rural milieu and those which derive from the activities peculiar to rural life. Within the full range of the needs identified, the major part of all publications on rural vocational training attach priority to training for farming personnel. Part Two examines the development of this type of training. It addresses training supply and demand, objectives and methods of training in agriculture, and special target groups for training in rural areas: women, and individuals with a nonagricultural background. Part Two also looks at the question of the training inputs made in connection with local rural development projects that are expected to supplement the sectoral training by dealing with the social dimensions of life in a rural community and to cover the needs experienced by people engaged in other occupational fields. Part Three offers conclusions. A five-page bibliography is included. (YLB)
