SPARKLE - Supporting Productive jobs, Awareness and Resilience through Knowledge and Learning for Electrotechnicians

SPARKLE fits into the context of the TVET system of the Sub Saharan area, in particular Uganda and Sierra Leone, consider the current problems and challenges that slow down its competitiveness and attractiveness, causing a knock-on effect that leads to poor support for the economic and social development of the territories in the face of high birth rates, unemployment, undeclared work and migration flows.The exchange with other TVET institutes and organisations dedicated to the training and labour insertion of citizens with consolidated experience from the Programme Countries intends to promote, through two-way exchange dynamics, the construction of collaboration networks between public and private subjects and to foster the capacity of TVET ecosystem to respond to the actual needs of the socio-economic structure of the territory, in particular of the sectors with a strong innovative connotation, such as the electrotechnical-sanitary sector.The rationale of the project is based on constant twinning, coaching and support between partners in the Programme Countries and TVET from the Sub Saharan area with a bottom-up approach. VET providers and other social development organisations intend to support VET providers in the Sub Saharan area to improve their capacity building of innovative training offers that guarantee decent and productive jobs, in line with the needs of the area and in compliance with national green and digital economic development policies.Capacity building activities are structured in 5 clusters, addressing specific areas of work:1: Construction of integrated training offer development strategy (analysis, development, testing and validation phases)2: Practical application of the strategies to the electrical/healthcare sector 3: Staff mobility for CB activities4: Creation of networks among TVET, private companies and humanitarian organisations 5: Sharing and replicability of models to other contexts in the area and to other countries.
