Dear Colleagues,

With the advent of the global digital economy and industrial upgrades, technical and vocational education, and training (TVET) have been closely linked to the social and economic development of a country or region. From the evolution of agricultural and industrial societies to the current digital society, we can see that the human resources trained by vocational education play a key role in these evolutionary stages. Therefore, the implementation and sustainability of TVET is receiving attention from education experts and governments around the world. Research and exploration in this area is particularly important to prepare for the new changes in TVET. At the same time, as an important branch of discipline, the psychological theories based on vocational education should also be valued. This is closely related to talent cultivation, formal vocational education, informal vocational education, career development, vocational planning and so on.
