In-Company TVET in the Developing World This ground-breaking and practical study addresses the issue of training within companies and among groupings of companies and other stakeholders such as training centres and government agencies. The first part of the book uses current theory to investigate the topic of innovation in training. The second part analyses the reality of vocational training and presents a series of best practices based on experiences in sectors such as textile manufacture in South Africa, mining in Indonesia and oil and gas in India. The book confirms that long- term self-sufficiency in poor communities can be greatly aided by educating people from apprentices to mastercraftsmen to use their talent and the opportunities offered by their local environment, all achieved with the cooperation of firms and other stakeholders.
