💬 Through presentations and open discussion, participants identified priority issues affecting TVET quality and considered practical actions and longer-term steps to strengthen the national system.

🤝 The workshop reaffirmed the shared commitment of UNESCO, INDMO and national stakeholders to building a more coordinated, quality-assured and responsive TVET system that supports skills development and Timor-Leste’s workforce needs.
