The EU-funded Governance for Employability in the Mediterranean (GEMM) initiative held a workshop in Egypt recently to discuss the promotion of partnerships between business and providers of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to better address skills anticipation and labour market needs.
The workshop was attended by Ahmed Elgoushy, Deputy Minister of Education and Technical Education, employers, TVET providers and international experts.
Under the GEMM programme, Egypt set up a pilot project in the Manoufia region to promote partnerships between enterprises and TVET providers to address skills needs in the agro-food sector.
GEMM focuses on two key issues, the financing of VET and quality assurance. The project includes subnational (local) pilot project selected by the countries, mapping of governance structures and capacity building on the national level, and exchange of experience among countries on the regional level.
