Yaman, Ahmet LU (2023) In Journal of Enderun 7(1). p.1-17
Abstract
It is one of the most basic requirements of today for sustainable social and economic development that individuals have the knowledge, skills and competencies appropriate to the requirements of the age. Vocational education and training (VET) is an important role that determine social and economic development levels of countries as well as urban growth.

It is one of the most basic requirements of today for sustainable social and economic development that individuals have the knowledge, skills and competencies appropriate to the requirements of the age. Vocational education and training (VET) is an important role that determine social and economic development levels of countries as well as urban growth. In general, vocational education is considered a work of the national government, but it is directly or indirectly linked with urban public policy too. Urban public policy aims not only to manage cities spaces, economics structure but also it purposes to enhance urban development, urban growth and resident welfare. The central focus of this study is to investigate the relationship between vocational education and training (VET) and local governments in terms of urban public policy and implementation tools. The study claims that urban vocational policy also contributes to the structure of urban economics in terms of boosting enterprises' human resource capacities. Therefore, vocational education directly affects the development of individuals, businesses, and urban growth potential. In order to clarify that, I benefit from secondary data resources, including plans, reports, urban parliament decisions, etc. The study reached three conclusions, as follows: Firstly, vocational education is an urban policy implementation tool that is considered based on the social municipality’s approach. Secondly, it is used to improve vulnerable groups’ skills to ensure employment participation, and It contributes to fulfilling the needs of qualified personnel required by the business world operating in urban economics. Thirdly, municipalities have conducted vocational education and training programs with the support of national and international projects. Moreover, the municipalities have benefited from the project funding, which increases the physical capacity of the municipalities’ education centres and covers the costs of the activities. (Less)
