This systematic review explores the integration of technology into livelihood education and its impact on teacher empowerment and student preparedness for a digital future. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature, the study highlights the benefits of technology integration in vocational education, including enhanced student engagement, improved learning outcomes, and personalized instruction. The findings emphasize the crucial role of teacher empowerment in successful technology adoption, with ongoing professional development and support programs proving instrumental in equipping educators with the necessary skills and confidence to leverage technology effectively. However, the digital divide remains a significant challenge, with unequal access to technology and the internet hindering inclusive education. Recommendations for addressing this gap include collaborative efforts and inclusive initiatives to extend technology access to underserved communities. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of balancing technological education with the development of essential soft skills to prepare students for the demands of an ever changing job market. The implications of this research have significant implications for educational practice and policy, highlighting the need to prioritize teacher empowerment and create future oriented vocational education ecosystems that foster a skilled and adaptable workforce.
