Annotated Bibliographies on Technical and Vocational Education. Bonn: UNESCO. UNEVOC.

One of the main functions of the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre is knowledge management and information sharing. Particular attention is given to promoting best practices and innovations in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and education for the world of work, with special reference to meeting the needs of developing countries, countries in transition and countries in a post-conflict situation. The Centre also seeks to help bridge the gap that often exists between research, policy and practice in the area of education for the world of work.

To bring this function to fruition, the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre is in the process of developing an extensive publications programme in the form of an International Encyclopaedia of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). The following volumes are currently under preparation:

• International Handbook on TVET
• Book Series .Current Developments in TVET: Issues, Concerns and Prospects.
• Handbook on TVET Research
• National Profiles of TVET Systems
• International Journal of TVET
• Annotated Bibliographies of TVET.

The Annotated Bibliographies of TVET are a series of reviews of literature related to key issues of TVET that has been published within the last six years. The information was obtained through an extensive Internet search of online journals, conferences, databases and archives. However, it must be noted that some sources relevant to the topic may not be included due to a lack of access and subscription to various journals and databases. Therefore, these literature reviews are not proposed to be an exhaustive collection of such works, but are meant to serve as a representative sample of the type of research taking place in the field of TVET, to aid others in their research.

These annotated bibliographies are part of an ongoing project in which the topics will be revisited from time to time to include newly published work; and additional topics will be added to the series over time. It should be noted that descriptions of the publications featured are often quoted directly from the articles abstract or associated website, and so are not the original work of those who have compiled these bibliographies.
