Ghana. Demonstrating Results in Ghana’s Skills Development System

Ghana. Demonstrating Results in Ghana’s Skills Development System | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is under heightened pressure to demonstrate Value for Money (VfM). But whose VfM? In what context? How can results be measured effectively when current TVET data is so input-focused? This short piece explores these questions, and others, using Ghana as an example.

Australia. Illustrating the business value in VET

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

The Franchise Council of Australia (FCA) is the peak representative body for the franchise sector in Australia. FCA identified the need for specialised training in the franchise industry, specifically the need to deliver vocational education to lift the franchisee’s core competencies and shift them from business owners to business managers and leaders.
The FCA designed a blended approach to training delivery for the franchise sector.

Kenya. Do vouchers for job training programs help?

The Kenyan voucher program shows that youth will take advantage of job training when the costs are covered through vouchers. And among those who do enroll, a majority stay with the program. This underscores the potential usefulness of including the private sector in public policy programs designed to boost demand for job training.
