Career pathways from schools to TVET to employment
The TVET courses are developed in close consultation with the National Apprenticeship and Trade Testing Board, National Training Council, Industry, Provincial Governments and the community. All courses are accredited through the National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
There are career pathways from schools to TVET to employment and for some further higher education and training.
Though there is an increasing awareness of the need for relevant skills training, the PNG government need to do more in this area.
