A recent study by the Colombo Plan Staff College explores the extent of green skills integration using a descriptive-exploratory design and survey data from TVET professionals who participated in a regional program in Thailand.

While progress is evident in areas such as green campus initiatives, curriculum integration, and sustainability practices, gaps remain in circular economy skills, digital-green competencies, and applied green innovation. The study also identifies key challenges, which further underscore the need for stronger collaboration and a more integrated ecosystem approach.

In a step toward future-ready TVET systems, the Colombo Plan Staff College and the Department of Workforce Planning and Skills Development, Bhutan jointly conducted the In-Country Program on "Innovation in Curriculum Development Using ICT Tools" from April 6 to 11, 2026, at Hotel Mayto, Langjophakha, Thimphu, Bhutan.

The program brought together 29 TVET professionals from across Bhutan to strengthen their capacities in developing industry-aligned, outcome-based, and ICT-integrated curricula. Through thematic sessions, group work activities, and hands-on exercises, participants explored innovative approaches to curriculum design, assessment, and instructional methodologies.

Anchored in Bhutan’s vision for a future-ready workforce, this initiative reinforces ongoing efforts to strengthen the quality and relevance of TVET, equipping learners with the competencies needed in the evolving workforce.
