TVET Centers of Competence project, phasing out
Over the past three years SDC has been supporting and co-financing the GIZ Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) program through upgrading and enhancing the performance of six existing TVET institutions to become Centers of Competence (CoCs). Systemic change requires long processes and time to be fully achieved. This phasing-out period will allow the project and its partners to consolidate the achievements and to ensure sustainability of the outcomes. Synergies with other SDC funded projects will be further enhanced.

Contexte |
In 2014, the oPt aggregate real GDP declined by 0.4 percent, the first contraction since 2006. Macro-economic prospects for future years are bleak. High unemployment rates; The unemployment rate among labour force is 24%. The unemployment rate in the West Bank is 18% (15% for males and 27% for females), compared with 44% in Gaza Strip (40% for males and 57% for females – the highest in the world) . TVET, Labor Market and National Employment strategies were endorsed by the concerned ministries and implemented since 2010. Despite renewed dynamics and attention over the past few years, the sector continues to be characterized by fragmentation and does not match labour market needs. Despite its high relevance and opportunities, low enrolment rates of 4% characterize the sector reflecting poor perception/consideration of TVET. |
