Support Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Skills Development in Africa – Submit Proposals
Funding for VET projects that take an opportunity-driven approach is made available by the Support Vocational Education and Training (VET) and Skills Development Program. These projects address real job opportunities that arise from EU investments, trade, the development of (regional) value chains, and other market dynamics in particular Global Gateway priority areas.
Goals
Funding the implementation of (regional) VET interventions in response to specific job possibilities resulting from (EU) investments, trade, the development of (regional) value chains, and other market dynamics is the aim of the Call for Proposals (CfP) under the Global Gateway (GG). The suggested VET interventions that are supported by the CfP have to be in line with the fundamental idea of reverse-engineered VET, which is to identify specific job potential as the first step in a focused VET intervention.
The ultimate beneficiaries of the interventions funded by the Call for Proposals (CfP) are:
- The working-age population in Sub-Saharan African countries, with a focus on women, youth aged 18 to 35, and disadvantaged groups, who benefit from skills development or vocational education and training (VET) programs connected to European investments, particularly in the Green Growth (GG) sector, leading to tangible and decent employment opportunities.
- Local companies engaged in the selected value chains or sectors related to Green Growth, which benefit from access to a skilled workforce.
