TVET and Skills Development in EU Development Cooperation

In 2013 DEVCO - Unit B3 - decided to take stock of the Commission's support for TVET and Skills development in partner countries in preparation for reformulating strategy in this increasingly important field. For this purpose the Unit commissioned a study which produced an accurate mapping and assessment of current and recent interventions in this field. It is now available in English and French.

The overall objective of this study is to provide a comprehensive picture of Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Skills Development (SD) across the European Commission’s Development Cooperation with partner countries to provide a set of recommendations obtained from lessons learnt and best practices in programming and coordinating vocational education and training interventions and reforms in developing countries
