Guidebook for development of attitudes, behaviour and non-technical competences in technical-vocational education and training in the Asia-Pacific region

This guidebook has been designed as a framework for teachers to help them begin implementing attitudes, behaviour and non-technical competences (ABNCs). It has been agreed that technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programs have concentrated on the technical job competences and skills at the expense of other skills such as communication skills, work ethics, productivity, safety, social and political awareness, and creative and logical thinking. The guidebook begins by defining ABNC and its role within TVET. Six modules are then presented, together with a suggested implementation strategy and a list of member country experts.
