Abstract

Abstract

The major purpose of this study is to discuss how 21st-century skills can positively influence the relevancy of the VTE sector in Palestine. It would be a correct suggestion and conclusion for the management of VTE to consider and create a platform for all modern skills in Palestine. Digital technology skills, for example, would indeed help the providers of vocational and technical training move more digital than traditional. The study attempts to highlight the ways of enhancing the learning and teaching outcomes of VTE through 21st-century skills. The study addresses how the VTE sector could provide and handle contemporary labour market needs through 21st-century skills, and further outlined the essential roles that could be played by teachers in the process. An exploratory research approach was employed to search for trending and relevant skills for the Palestinian environments. The findings of the study emphasized the fact that 21st-century skills could be largely achieved through teachers, instructional patterns, teaching methods and learning approaches. The study outcomes show that 21st-century skills have not been critically and creatively used in Palestine, thus distant the Palestinian VTE sector from being relevant and contemporary in the 21st-century era. The study suggested that VTE teaching methods, learning approaches and training initiatives should be reviewed toward improving the sector digitally and skillfully.  The study recommended that curriculum, infrastructure, institutions, human capital and human resources need to be prepared and developed toward accommodating 21st-century skills
