The efficiency of policy implementation needs to be considered and changes in the policy environment at the time of implementation must be forecasted when establishing macroscopic policies such as basic plans for the development of vocational training. The importance of forecasting changes in the policy environment has especially become ever more important when the economy and the society, including the labor market, were reorganized drastically due to COVID-19 during the implementation of the Fourth Basic Plan for the Development of Vocational Competency (2023-2027). The new normal (remote work, expertise and fields of interest), a discord between growth and employment, forward-looking demand for manpower (new technologies such as AI and automation), and the acceleration of digital transformation are major keywords that identify vital environmental factors that should be examined when implementing the Fourth Basic Plan for the Development of Vocational Competency. Therefore, this chapter aims to lay out policy environmental factors that need to be considered when establishing the Fourth Basic Plan for the Development of Vocational Competency from supply, demand, and training market sides.
