Abstract
This study presents an
in-depth examination of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as
a strategic tool to bridge the gap between education and industry in
Bangladesh. Amidst a complex landscape of youth unemployment and rapid economic
growth, TVET offers a critical pathway for skill development and social
inclusion. Through a cross-sectional survey of 3,325 respondents, including current
students and recent graduates of various TVET institutions, the research explores
the alignment of TVET with industry needs, stakeholders’ perceptions, job placement
rates, societal attitudes, gender dynamics, and regional disparities. The findings
reveal a generally positive alignment of TVET curriculum with market requirements,
a satisfaction rating of 3.84, and an accessibility rating that encapsulates the
ease of accessing TVET programs. The study further identifies challenges and limitations,
both internal and external, highlighting the need for continuous evaluation,
collaboration with industry, and responsiveness to market needs.
Recommendations include targeted enhancements in curriculum design, faculty
development, infrastructural investment, and industry alignment. The insights
gleaned from this research offer valuable guidance for policymakers, educators,
industry leaders, and international partners in harnessing TVET’s potential for
economic growth, innovation, and social development in Bangladesh.
