The APEC Open Educational Resources (OER) repository offers an exciting opportunity to transform the learning environment and give educational institutions in APEC economies a competitive advantage in the knowledge market place. Its goal is to raise awareness about the educational possibilities of OER in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and stimulate greater sharing and use of OER across APEC. Its objectives are to:

• Raise awareness amongst APEC TVET institutions about the concept of OER and its educational potential;
• Identify, organize and share appropriate high-quality OER already produced for TVET across the APEC region so that it can be easily located and shared by TVET educational providers in APEC economies, thus facilitating economic growth and development. The current priority focus areas are Energy Efficiency, Emergency Preparedness and Response, and Foundation course (communication, research and study skills),
• Facilitate processes of sharing of existing educational content as OER and development of new OER to plug gaps in the content that is already available online.
