Vocational training

PAFISAM aims to support the integration of young people and to provide a qualified workforce for Guinea's growth sectors, namely mining and agriculture and the associated upstream and downstream activities, by setting up effective initial and continuing training solutions and measures fostering the transition to employment.
In this framework, SOFRECO is providing METFPET with a team of experts in training design and equipment procurement to reform 18 vocational training paths at BTS [higher technician's diploma] and CAP [vocational training certificate] levels, in the industrial and agricultural fields.

The Support to the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Reform Programme in Egypt –Phase II (TVET II) co-financed by the GoE (EUR 67 million) and the EU (EUR 50 million) aims to improve the structure and performance of the TVET system to better respond to Egypt’s new socio-economic needs, and in particular to boost the employability of youth and increase the country’s competitiveness.

As part of the Vocational Training and Education Support Project (PAEFP), an international technical expert specialised in technical and vocational education and training is to support Djibouti's Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training (MENFOP) in the project's implementation and to help build the capacities of the teams of the Directorate-General for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (DG-ETFP). He is working directly with the DG-ETFP to provide assistance in the implementation of the activities of Component 2 of the PAEFP, as well as to develop their technical skills in the field of TVET.
The expected results of this support include the establishment of the vocational baccalaureate and the development of vocational training in response to the needs of Djibouti’s economy through personalised technical assistance to the DG-ETFP.

This project for the creation of vocational training centres (CFMs) providing non-agricultural training in rural areas of Cameroon, is directly in line with the national priorities of the DSCE 2010-2020 (Strategy Document for Growth and Employment) in terms of strengthening the offer and quality of vocational training in the regions of Cameroon. The priority sectors for the training centres will be jobs supporting agricultural production (food processing and export, maintenance of agricultural machinery, etc.), building and civil engineering-transport, the energy sector, and information and communication technologies. These strategic areas must contribute to the employment strategy which is based on three main lines: increasing the offer of decent employment throughout the country in order to keep people, and especially young people, in the country, (ii) aligning the demand for employment through diversification of the training offer, and (iii) improving the efficiency of the market to create closer ties between businesses and job seekers.
