Abstract
The chapter brings to light innovations in teaching and learning in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in the form of simulated work-based learning. The study enriches our understanding of the holistic nature of simulated based learning in TVET, highlighting benefits, problems of using simulation, and the enhancement of the use of simulation-based learning as an alternative or a complementary pedagogy in TVET. The methodology involved the use of secondary data in the form of literature on simulated work-based learning. Research on simulation is reviewed, and points about its effectiveness as it relates to teaching practical skills in TVET are cited. While the discussion cautions the limitations of simulation in teaching practical skills, it advocates the empowerment of the lecturers and learners in digital skills. Suggestions on engaging all stakeholders in TVET for the adoption of the innovation are proposed to strengthen the resilience and responsiveness of TVET systems.
