There are two basic sets of concerns about VET and poverty reduction. The first focuses on the failure of most targeted training interventions to have any appreciable, sustained impact on livelihoods. As will be discussed below, numerous reasons have been identified for this lack of impact. Most of these relate to the poor quality and relevance of training and/or the inability of trainees to utilise the skills and knowledge they have acquired due to a variety of economic and social constraints. The second set of concerns focuses on the alleged failure of national vocational systems to reorient themselves to meeting the skill needs of the EVSE. While in some countries, low impact and limited reorientation are closely inter-related, the failure to separate clearly between the two can result in considerable confusion.
