DOI 10.4018/979-8-2600-4045-4.ch006
Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This chapter explores the nexus between technical education and sustainable entrepreneurship in Indonesia in terms of possible developments, existing challenges, and possible innovations concerning the production of environmentally-conscious vocational graduates. It highlights how the Indonesian TVET system could change so that it can be made congruent with sustainable development principles. The potential changes include continuing the government's interest in fostering the green economy model, developing its digital infrastructure, and raising the awareness of youth in regard to the environment. However, several critical challenges have been identified, such as a lack of appropriate green skills training in curriculum, inadequate qualifications of instructors, lack of engagement with industries, and shortage of resources. Five innovations are proposed, which include changes in curricula, instruction capacity building, creation of multi-agency Green Economy Councils, entrepreneurial financing, and climate change education, and which need cooperation across various stakeholders.
