TEI OP-VET: Opportunity-driven Skills and VET in Africa

Overview

The TEI OP-VET aims at improving skills and VET provision in Sub-Saharan Africa by addressing the skills needs of the EU Global Gateway and other flagship initiatives and enhance employability in the region. 

It thus seeks to support a paradigm shift where the VET offer is reverse engineered from concrete job opportunities. Employment is the leading perspective, and collaboration with the private sector, be it in (social) sector dialogues, in the development and implementation of concrete training or in the transition towards employment, is a necessary requirement and key feature of the opportunity-driven approach.
