TVET Reform

training ...

Technical and Vocational Education and Training qualifies people for the requirements of the Ethiopian labor market. It is geared towards enhancing the competitiveness of all economic sectors through a dynamic, demand-driven and quality assured system of skills development. The outcome based TVET Strategy promotes one coherent system, including formal, non-formal and informal training, which allows access to national occupational certification at all levels.

ecbp is working with TVET institutions and the Ministry of Education to revise the systems and curricula of the schools in addition to developing human resources and increasing their institutional capacity. The TVET system also involves industry through in-company and cooperative trainings as well as the placement of interns from TVET schools into companies.

Impacts

The major impacts of the TVET reform are:

  • Since 2005 ecbp has been part of the overall modernization of the Ethiopian TVET system into a modern outcome based system.
  • Technology Transfer has been integrated into TVET, leading to local production of machinery previously imported.
  • TVET students are being increasingly trained in practical skills and thus respond to the demands of the industry.
  • The Rural Electrification Project is able to bring electricity to more people quicker as a result of cooperative training with TVET institutes throughout the country.
