Costa Rica team appointed leader of TVET Observatory
Costa Rica team assumes new TVET research leadership role.
From 1 January 2021, LELAM-TVET4INCOME’s Costa Rica research team will be leading the Thematic Observatory of Costa Rican Professional Technical Education and Training. The appointment is for four years with the possibility of a four-year extension. The team of seven will lead research efforts on Costa Rica’s TVET system.
The Thematic Observatory of Costa Rican Professional Technical Education and Training is focused on knowledge generation, monitoring, information dissemination, and the construction of strategic alliances. The goal is to support research, continuous training, and informed decision-making in relation to Costa Rican Professional Technical Education and Training and to propose research actions that influence public policy generation in the sector.
The Observatory has the task of analysing the state of Professional Technical Education and Training in the country, its main challenges, and the development of this education stream considering the social and labour market context, while proposing innovative solutions for the implementation of education programmes.
To achieve its goals, this space aims to serve as an intersection point for the academic, research, labour market and student populations. By generating alliances between different groups that unite under the interest of continuously strengthening and improving the development of the Costa Rican education system, the Observatory is well placed to continue the work of the LELAM-TVET4INCOME in the years following the project.
