Abstract

The Future of Continuing Education and Training (CET) is a universal concern because of the many factors that disrupt the conventional assumption and practice of the current CET model that views skills as atomised and where lifelong learning exists in a skills deficit manner with the purpose of plugging skills gap.

It is imperative that policymakers and key stakeholders (education institutions, employers, trade unions and training providers) begin to envision the future CET system so that workers are adequately prepared for the changing work environment.
