Journal of Vocational Learning Ecosystems (JVLE) is an open access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by Ryvo Press, focusing on the development of technical and vocational education and training (TVET). The journal views vocational education as a learning ecosystem that integrates educational institutions, higher education, industry, policy, and communities to support competency development and workforce readiness. JVLE publishes empirical, conceptual, and review articles that advance theory, practice, and policy in TVET at local, national, and international levels.
