Abstract- This article aims to discuss the opportunities and challenges in implementing Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) in Fiji’s education system. In addition to offering ongoing training and professional development, many TVET programs also offer pathways to further education. This can include opportunities to earn additional certifications or degrees, or to transfer credits to an university program. Technical and Vocational Education and Training, or TVET, is a type of education and training that focuses on providing students with practical skills and knowledge for a specific trade or vocation. It is often considered an alternative to traditional academic routes, such as university or college, and is designed to prepare students for a specific career or occupation. The purpose and goals of TVET vary depending on the specific program and the needs of the local job market. The aim of TVET is to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career, and to help address any skills gaps in the job market. This type of education and training can be an excellent choice for individuals who are looking for a more hands-on, practical approach to learning, and who want to get started in a specific career as quickly as possible. Most countries like Fiji, are trying to implement TVET programmes into their education systems to accommodate the school dropouts and also to reduce the skill gaps in the job market.
