Promoting Youth Employment through Support to TVET
UNIDO has applied to Sida for funding of USD 6,213,870, aproximately 55 million SEK, to carry out the promoting youth employment by supporting technical and vocational education in Liberia programme during the period 2018-2023. UNIDO will be the main implementing partner.
The proposed intervention overall objective is to lift beneficiaries from poverty by increasing their chances to gain productive employment through a robust and inclusive TVET system (Technical Vocational Education and Training) that is responsive to economic needs. The intervention will support the following outputs:
- improved capacity of teachers through participation in formal teacher training for vocational education;
- strengthened human capital to correspond to economic needs (e.g. in infrastructure development and agribusiness);
- and increased participation of the private-sector in stewardship and engagement with TVET sector at the school level.
Emphasis will be placed on youth development. This will be achieved by strengthening and building on the existing institutional capacity of Liberia's vocational training system to deliver up-to-date training courses relevant to the requirements of the economy.
The intervention will address both labor demand and supply by equipping young persons with skills that increase their employability and earnings, and by removing bottlenecks to expanding profitable businesses due to skills shortages.
