Abstract

The importance of building local talent within the VET sector of a developing nation should not be underestimated, particularly when carried out in the environment of a mixture of cultures. Often, even with the best of intentions, vocational interventions by external organisations have, in the past, lacked appropriate consideration for ensuring the ongoing sustainability of Indonesian specialist human capability. While foreign skills and talent can unquestionably play a pivotal role in developing local human capability, it also must be recognised that these interventions must imbued with culturally appropriate considerations, allowing them to look forward to the creation and building of the ability of indigenous human resources. In this Chapter, thought is given to how future interventions can be framed and carried out to give local perspectives and knowledge equal standing with wider notions of human capability
