Increasing migration are significant challenges to the national character of TVET systems and
qualifications. TVET qualifications are progressively expected not only to serve as proxies for an
individual's competencies but to also act as a form of a currency that signals national and
international value.
[19]
TVET systems have been developing mechanisms to enable credible and
fair cross-border recognition of skills. In 2007, the
ILO
identified three types of recognition that
TVET system may use: unilateral (independent assessment by the receiving country), mutual
(agreements between sending and receiving countries), and multilateral (mostly between a
regional grouping of countries). The most prevalent of these is unilateral recognition, which is
mostly under the control of national credential evaluation agencies. Countries have been slow to
move from input-based skill evaluations to outcome-based methodologies that focus on
competencies attained.
[20][5]
TVET systems are responding to migration by providing qualifications that can stand the rigour
of these recognition systems and by creating frameworks for mutual recognition of
qualifications. Regional Qualifications Frameworks such as those in
Southern Africa
,
Europe
,
Asia
and the
Caribbean
aim to significantly support the recognition of qualifications across borders.
[21]
These efforts are further supported through the introduction of outcome-based learning
methodologies within the broader context of multilateral recognition agreements.
