MDP and Edp

The document discusses changes the author would like to see in vocational education and training (VET) programs in schools by 2010. The author believes VET programs should better prepare students for their future careers by teaching key competencies like literacy, numeracy, communication skills and current technologies. Programs also need to engage students and industry more through opportunities like site visits, industry projects and internships. Teachers require more support through ongoing training, industry placements and updated training materials. The overall goal is for schools and industry to collaborate closely to ensure VET programs meet emerging needs and help students gain meaningful employment.
