FZ programme vocational education and agricultural training

active

The FC project Vocational and Agricultural Training, Phase IV is conceptually based on the previous FC commitment in the field of vocational training and supports the Ethiopian vocational training sector. The new phase aims to improve the quality and expand the capacity of training for vocational students and vocational school teachers, particularly in agricultural training. By better aligning the training with the needs of the labor market and the agricultural sector, the employment and income opportunities of the target groups will be improved. With an additional gender component and the expansion of the training occupations to include occupations more in demand by women, the project will particularly benefit women and girls. A training and further education measure (A+F) will ensure the optimal and sustainable use of the equipment provided and increase the qualifications of the vocational school teachers. The FC program is part of the Ethiopian Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP 2010/11-2014/15) and the fourth phase of the Ethiopian Education Sector Development Program (ESDP IV). The measures work synergistically with the projects carried out by TC in the field of vocational and agricultural training as well as with the second development cooperation priority of Sustainable Land Management (SLM) and, in the long term, with the innovation cluster of the BMZ special initiative A World Without Hunger.
