Programme to promote vocational training

active

The program to promote vocational training and its accompanying measure aim to expand the training capacities of selected private and public vocational schools and improve the quality of the training offered there. By increasing the practical relevance and aligning training more closely with the needs of the labor market, the employment and income opportunities of the students working there are improved. As part of the project, private and public vocational training institutions in the three provinces of Inhabane, Manica and Sofala that offer and/or want to introduce curricula in accordance with competency-based standards will initially be selected based on criteria, rehabilitated or expanded and equipped as needed. In addition, measures to strengthen the management of the supported vocational schools will be financed. The target group of the project are young school leavers in the 10th grade (aged around 16) who have successfully completed the first three years of secondary school, as well as the management and employees of the supported vocational schools. After the increase, the FC share amounts to EUR 16.3 million with an estimated total term of 5 years. In parallel to the investment measures financed by the project, additional funds of EUR 2.0 million are planned for an accompanying measure (BM) to further strengthen the capacities of the supported vocational schools (BMZ No. 2016 70 280). In addition, a stock check for a possible second phase of the project with an FC volume of up to EUR 28 million is still available.
