TVET project, one of the Centers of Competencies, Gaza 2013, © SDC

While unemployment in the Gaza strip is a major challenge, especially for young women and men, there is a clearly identified need for skilled workers. SDC support focuses on enhancing the capacities of governmental TVET (technical vocational education and training) institutions to provide quality education that meets the market labour demand. The project will work towards the adoption and implementation of the national Palestinian TVET strategy in Gaza and will engage with all sectors’ stakeholders.

Hintergrund

The unemployment rate is a major challenge in Gaza (30%), and young women and men are particularly hit. The main reason is the weak economy that can to a large extent be attributed to the blockage and the occupation practices. However, there are also internal factors, including the weak responsiveness of the education system to the labor market demand. The Technical Vocation Education and Training (TVET) system in Gaza is highly fragmented and most governmental institutions lack the proper infrastructure and capacities to at least maintain a certain standard in TVET provision.

Ziele

The employability of young women and men in the Gaza Strip is enhanced through an improved and unifed TVET system with public TVET centers providing students with labour market relevant skills and employment services.
