TVET@Work aims to build the capacity of vocational education and training (VET) providers and teachers in Tanzania.
We aim to strengthen public-private cooperation for demand-oriented and opportunity-driven VET interventions and improve the quality and responsiveness of TVET to economic and social developments.
During the project, we will focus on VET teacher training. VET teacher trainers and trainees will be equipped with the skills to teach entrepreneurship to their students using digital solutions, equip them with digital pedagogy skills, and develop skills on how to cooperate with the industry, including inclusion in industrial attachments and civic engagement.
To promote cooperation between VET and the industry, we will produce Guidelines and a Toolkit for practical implementation. These will be aligned with Tanzania’s regional and national development strategies. Our goal is to have positive and long-lasting effects on students, VET teachers, participating organizations, and policy systems.
Target groups
The main target groups are VET teachers and industry representatives. Indirect beneficiaries are VET students who will benefit from increased quality and innovation in entrepreneurship skills training, TVET teachers’ pedagogical skills, especially in digital solutions, improved industry cooperation practices, and updated civic engagement skills.
Pilot trainings for VET teachers
We have developed an entrepreneurship training program together with our project partners. The program is tailored for TVET teachers and students. It incorporates challenge-based learning and digital education materials to provide practical, hands-on business experience.
We conducted the first pilot trainings in January in Morogoro Vocational Teachers Training College. The feedback from the teachers was very positive, and we will continue the pilot trainings throughout the year, while developing them further.
