International Conference on Technical and Vocational
Education and Training
Sponsored by the Canadian Vocational Association and
UNEVOC-Canada
DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR THE NEW ECONOMY

Chair: Dr. Chris Chinien, Director, UNEVOC-Canada

CALL FOR PAPERS
Our society is continuously moving towards a
knowledge-based economy: an economy in which the
application of knowledge replaces capital, raw
materials, and labour as the main means of production.
The synergy of combining new information and
communication technologies with human skills has
dramatically altered job content and skills
requirements at the workplace. Good jobs have become
technologically complex and are demanding
sophisticated work skills. Simple, routine and
low-levelfunctions are diminishing. The perception of
the role of human interventions in the economic
transactions has also changed. The potential
contribution that an individual can make in acquiring
and applying knowledge for improving processes,
products and services is becoming more important than
the physical labour. The knowledge embodied in a
product has become a key element of production.
To engage all key stakeholders in a discussion
regarding skill development for the New Economy, the
Canadian Vocational Association (CVA) and
UNEVOC-Canada, the Canadian Centre for UNESCO’s
International Project on Technical and Vocational
Education will co-host an international conference on
October 17-19, 2002 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
This conference will focus on research, policy
initiatives, case studies, best practices,i nnovative
approaches, strategies, and emerging trends in
Technical and Vocational Education and Training for
DEVELOPING SKILLS FOR THE NEW ECONOMY.
We are now accepting abstracts for oral and symposium
presentations from researchers and practitioners
involved with technical and vocational education and
training.
ORAL presentations will be forty minutes in length in
a one-hour time slot to allow for presenter-audience
interaction.
SYMPOSIUM presentations will consist of groups of four
papers on a consistent theme that will be presented in
a two-hour time slot.
