Vocational education is the term used to describe training programs or courses intended to prepare people for certain crafts, trades, or occupations that call for practical knowledge and experience. In contrast, typical academic education tends to emphasise theoretical knowledge. Learning skills that are directly applicable to a given career is emphasised in vocational education. It plays a crucial part in the development of young people by preparing them for the most important skills. Other elements, such government policy, as well as the educational component of the vocational school itself, must support the crucial role of vocational education. A key component of contemporary educational systems, it is necessary for creating a well-rounded workforce, stimulating innovation, and improving individual prospects.By giving young people the skills they need to create fulfilling occupations, make economic contributions, and develop socially and personally, vocational education promotes youth development and eventually results in more inclusive and sustainable societal growth.This paper aims to demonstrate how vocational education affects young people's growth. This study attempts to investigate how vocational education affects young people. The data used in this study came from a variety of internet sources, as well as a large number of research papers and articles that were published in various journals.
