Abstract
Technical and vocational education and training (TVET) is an important contributor to the sustainable economic development to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Oman Vision 2040. TVET is expected to facilitate the insertion of young people and adults into the labor market and their career progression. The tourism and hospitality sector is a priority sector for a country's Tanfeedh plan for economic diversification. This chapter highlights the historical and existing practices in the Oman's TVET system that can be considered as enterprise-based learning that includes apprenticeship, OJT for students and workers of different ages. This chapter focusses on the practical attempts to incorporate work-based learning leading to identification of the strengths, weakness, and opportunities for all the people concerned. It highlights the present situation and future outlook of technical and vocational education and training in the tourism and hospitality sector in Oman.
