Vocational training is usually incorporated into national education systems and deals with technical training required of physical professions, with historical roots in craftmanship. Traditionally, those who undertook vocational training went through an apprenticeship learning model. Vocational training institutions have not seized the opportunity to 'own' the new technical professional space of computing and coding but have been languishing in the shadow of their more elite university peers over the past twenty years. However, there is emerging worldwide recognition of the importance of technical and vocational training to deliver future human capital as the 'engine room' of healthy economies.
