 In a knowledge economy, globalization and rapid advances in technological innovation have rendered the production of goods and services more complex, competitive, and increasingly dependent upon information and communication technology (ICT). The social, economic, and cultural impact of these economic trends and of the information society are unprecedented. The emerging knowledge economy requires a highly flexible and increasingly skilled workforce that can be continuously trained and upgraded. Therefore, new and innovative legislation, policy, and planning must be introduced for technical and vocational education and training.
 In support of this goal, the objectives of the workshop were to:
○ Share experiences of workforce development for knowledge economy
○ Draft project proposals to develop workforce needed in knowledge economy
○ Examine issues to be faced with the advent of knowledge economy
