In this first episode of our new #VocTechFutures livestreamed podcast with FE News , Sarah Axon explores what VocTech is, how it is being used and the impact it is having on learning delivery.
VocTech are digital technologies that support vocational training and help improve skills for work. VocTech describes the digital tools which are used to teach vocational skills to adults: skills which will be used by the workforce in the workplace.
