2.3 DIRECT ACTIONS IN COMMUNITIES

2.3.6. Vocational education/skills training

Recommendation: 26) Ensure that the quality of TVET provided is high and that quality monitoring is carried out.

Reference: Nycander, Lotta; Riechi, Andrew, 2013, Creating the enabling environment to establish models for child labour free areas in Kenya – Final evaluation, Evaluation Summary, ILO, Geneva.

Evidence sample: the evaluation concluded that more attention needs to be paid to quality aspects of education and training in particular when enrolling young boys and girls as residents (boarders) in polytechnic/TVET institutions. Much more monitoring and follow needs to be done.

2.4 APPROACHES TO ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

2.4.5. Strengthening IE with attention to gender issues

Recommendation: 31) TVET should include the identification of traditionally male-dominated skills training and job areas in order to increase the opportunities of female trainees on the job market. Likewise, males may also enter into training that may be dominated by females. Consider promoting TVET training access in skills not traditionally carried out by either men or women. While changing the stereotyping of skills may be difficult, breaking the mould can provide more opportunities for both women and men.

Reference: Nycander, Lotta; Riechi, Andrew, 2013, Creating the enabling environment to establish models for child labour free areas in Kenya – Final evaluation, Evaluation Summary, ILO, Geneva.

Evidence sample: The evaluation determined that the ILO and its constituents should identify new ideas to enable girls, especially, to venture into typical male-dominated skills training and job areas in order to increase their opportunities on the job market.
