Purpose – This paper aims to review technical vocational education and training (TVET) literature, identify different components of the TVET system and develop a conceptual framework that integrates human resource development (HRD) and national human resource development (NHRD) outcomes. The renewed focus on technical vocational education and training (TVET) is important for human resource development (HRD), as it expands current understanding of its role in economic development through workforce training. National human resource development (NHRD) perspectives recognize the role of TVET in linking regional and national economic development strategies. Furthermore, TVET’s focus on literacy education, poverty alleviation and inclusion of marginalized and vulnerable populations emphasizes social development outcomes that are critical for NHRD. Using this background, the integration of HRD and NHRD outcomes into one conceptual TVET framework for addressing workforce, economic and social development outcomes has been proposed. Design/methodology/approach – A targeted literature review approach was used for exploring relevant research on TVET systems, identifying the components which support and/or inhibit its effectiveness and an integrative framework that connects education, workforce development, social development and economic development was developed. Findings – Three major themes were identified. The first theme identifies nine sub-themes that make an effective TVET system. These are as follows: national TVET policy, regional TVET policy, training, participation, curriculum, coordination of stakeholder institutions, individual and institutional attitudes toward skill development, managing supply-demand mismatches and economic and social development outcomes. The second major theme underlines the increasing overlap and connection between workforce development, social development and economic development strategies. In the third and final finding, effective TVET systems are positioned as the linking pin connecting the four TVET components (skills, education, innovation and knowledge) to the strategic goals of workforce development, economic development and social development. Originality/value – Integrating national and organizational-based HRD strategies is a unique focus and reflects the broader examination of the differences in the relationship between corporate HRD and more traditional TVET systems. It is argued that the role of TVET in social and workforce development at the regional and societal level cannot be ignored. HRD and NHRD outcomes were integrated by utilizing TVET as a framework for linking economic, social and workforce development strategies.

The author’s interpretation of the development of human potential as a driving force of personal and social progress, which is a dynamic process of changes in the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of human resources, is proposed in the article. The purpose of this study is to determine a clearer relationship between the formation and development of human potential and socio-economic development with highlighting of methodological approaches to the formation of appropriate development programs. To achieve this goal, the author investigated the relationship between the concepts of «socio-economic development», «human potential» and «formation and development of human potential». The provisions on the meaningful interpretation of human resources and human potential as human abilities and capabilities, which become the basis for creating appropriate conditions in social production for dynamic human development, have been clarified. It is substantiated that in the methodological aspect, when forming programs of socio-economic development, it is advisable to distinguish between social development as a main goal of these programs, and economic development as a means of achieving this goal with the simultaneous mutual influence of these components. It is proposed to consider the systemic transformation of human resource development management as a main component of the prerequisites formation for human potential accumulation and social production development. The main components of the updated human resource development management system, namely the goals, principles and levels of development, the functions of managerial influence, have been determined. It has been substantiated that the main goal of socio-economic development programs should be the continuous development of a person as a carrier of human potential; and the use of innovation, complexity, knowledge orientation – as a principles of their construction on the basis of organizational, systemic and humanistic approaches.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to obtain greater insights into the implications for human resource development (HRD) in times of economic development, with a focus on China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC). In recent times of economic development, a number of economic corridors have emerged globally as tools of regional cooperation and development. In the context of Pakistan, there is a lack of appropriate attention to the field of HRD, which has suffered neglect through the decades (Abbasi and Burdey, 2008; Asrar-ul-Haq, 2015). With this conception, the present economic interventions merit a well-constructed and proper HRD policy for Pakistan. This study will provide HRD insights for policymakers, researchers, entrepreneurs and business executives. Design/methodology/approach The research approach of this study is purely based on literature review and on secondary data. Findings Based on the facts and literature reviews, this study concluded that One belt, One Road in general and CPEC in particular as an economic corridor can bring sustainable and long-lasting impact on the economy only if HRD is given proper attention. Originality/value To the best knowledge of the researchers, this is the first study that highlighted the HRD issue in CPEC.
