Skilling eco-VET - Skilling VET ecosystem: enhance enabled environments for private and public VET key actors in Ghana and Senegal

"The Project ""Skilling VET ecosystem: enhance enabled environments for private and public VET key actors"" aims to foster the transition of VET to emerging local labour market and to boost employability of vulnerable youth and women as a key to prevent illegal migration in Ghana and SenegalThe target countries are Ghana and Senegal. The 2 Countries have VET and employment as a priority in their development agendas and, in the recent years, have identified the shared development of employability oriented integrated services, led by empowered VET clusters of key actors in strategic green sectors (organic agriculture, solar energy) as keys to boost sustainable processes of local development, and, finally, as a core pillar to prevent and tackle irregular migration. Our consortium is made up by an already rooted European & African partnership of VET Providers (in Europe LUOVI, CNOS-FAP, in Ghana & Senegal DBYN, La Société de Saint François de Sales and Db Tech Africa), NGOs (in Europe VIS and MUNDUS), University, research and business development Centres (in Ghana & Senegal the University of Kaolack, BRC) which have already set up VET platforms and are already working in the two Countries to co-design comprehensive schemes of capacity development and capacity building.The project will move from effective proved methods, practices and pilots, South-South and triangular cooperation schemes, key VET areas (WBL, school to work transition, job service offices, greening TVET paths, business-TVET clusters, Quality VET service) in order to reach the following objectives: Increase employability supporting a stronger alignment of VET to emerging local labour market opportunities;Increase the technical, managerial capacity and pedagogical skills of VET providers especially in the fields of management, quality assurance, innovation and inclusion;Improve the level of competences, skills and employability potential of VET learners by developing new and innovative VET programmes and integrated services."
