Within the framework of the Vocational Education and Training Programme for the Member States of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC-VET) and in line with the OIC-TVET Strategic Roadmap 2020-2025, SESRIC, in collaboration with the Vocational Training Corporation (VTC) of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, organised a Training Course on “Adopting Legislative and Regulatory Framework towards Social Inclusion in TVET” on 05-06 July 2023 through an online video conferencing platform.

The training course was provided by competent experts from the VTC of Jordan for the benefit of 104 experts and executives from the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Authorities and relevant national institutions of 25 OIC Member Countries.

The training course facilitated the dissemination of pertinent knowledge, experiences, and best practices integral to creating effective collaboration between TVET institutions, the industry and other stakeholders, with a view to bolstering national legislative and regulatory frameworks to encourage social inclusion in TVET. The training course aimed to tackle the complexities that can hinder inclusive learning and overall skills development. It also focused on the changes needed in the TVET systems to ensure inclusivity and create an equitable learning environment for all.

The training course covered the following topics:

• Strategic Planning for Social Inclusion: A Case Study of the Vocational Training Corporation's 2022-2025 Plan
• Promoting Gender Equality and Women’s Inclusion in TVET
• Inclusive TVET for Persons with Disabilities

The OIC-VET is an initiative of SESRIC officially launched at the COMCEC Economic Summit held in Istanbul, Türkiye, on 09 November 2009. The Centre developed and designed this Programme to support and contribute to the efforts of the OIC Member Countries towards addressing the challenges and limitations faced in the area of TVET. The Programme also aims to enhance the quality of TVET systems in the OIC Member Countries, which in turn contribute to the development and competitiveness of their economies. SESRIC, in its capacity as the Executing OIC Organ of the Programme, monitors the implementation of the OIC-TVET Strategic Roadmap 2020-2025 and regularly submits the progress reports towards the implementation of the Roadmap to the Ministerial Sessions and the Follow-up Committee Meetings of the COMCEC.
