Committee dual Vocational Education Training (DC dVET) and specific thematic support in Switzerland (FoBBIZ)
The dual vocational education training (VET) system has long tradition in German-speaking countries, contributing to employment and income. Thus, its adaptation in development contexts is often complex and challenging. By fostering networks between donor agencies working on dual VET and tapping into the experience of the Swiss VET-community, the exchange of best practices and usage of synergies will improve VET projects in partner countries and lead to a better international positioning of the dual VET approaches.

| Contexto | After the economic crises and increased youth unemployment, VET is again gainig on importance in development cooperation. Specifically the dual system of the germano-phone countries is seen to contribute con-siderably to better employment and income. In order to better position the dual approach in the international dialogue and to improve VET programs, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein and Switzerland will join forces.Within Switzerland, a forum on Vocational education and international collaboration (FoBBIZ) has been established linking practitioners from the Swiss VET system and the ones working on the topic in inter-national cooperation. |
| Objetivos | Knowledge and expertise on adapted and contextualized dual VET approaches in international development cooperation are improved at a national and international level. A common understanding of dual VET in development cooperation forms the basis for influencing international policy and coordinated actions on partner country level, as well as for leveraging Swiss expertise therein. Both lead to more and better VSD interventions which ultimately contribute to individual, social and economic development, and therefore to poverty reduction. |
