Abstract:	This study project titled Improving Technical Drawing Software Skills of Vocational Education Training (VET) Teachers (TED-VET) sought to organize trainings to introduce Adobe Illustrator as a Technical Drawing Software to technical VET teachers and determine the effect of these trainings on teacher effectiveness. Additional goals included developing the capacity of academic personnel at Akdeniz University to provide appropriate and high quality CPD (Continuing Professional Development) for VET teachers and trainers on Technical Drawing Skills with Information and Communication Technologies or ICT, institute practitioner networks among technical Vet teachers who give technical drawing courses; and to support this CPD with partnerships between Provincial Directorate of National Education, VET schools, industry and the University to contribute to CPD of VET teachers. As a result of this study, 15 teachers attended the training of trainers and directly benefited from CPD. These teachers have become trainers for VET teachers (T-VET) and will organize new trainings for other VET teachers in 61 VET schools in Antalya under the coordination of Education Directorate. The findings and outcomes of this study have important implications about how ICT in TVET schools can be used effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
