**2.5 Collaborative learning and teamwork**

Collaborative learning involves students working together in small groups to achieve shared goals [8]. In TVET, collaborative learning helps learners develop teamwork, communication, and interpersonal skills, which are highly valued by employers. Collaborative activities can include group projects, peer evaluations, and joint problem-solving tasks. By engaging in collaborative learning, students develop a sense of responsibility for their own learning as well as the learning of their peers, fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
