Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been one of the prominent sectors globally for a long. Dewey (1916) saw TVET as a tool for education reform in modernizing society. This has been equally vibrant in the present context as scholars (e.g. Maclean & Wilson, 2009) argue that TVET is an education and training that prepares an individual for gainful employment. TVET programs equip young people with the skills, knowledge, and competencies required to enter a particular type of professional career (OECD 2017).
