TVET for Local Development TVET International Conference in Armenia Stefan Hummelsheim, TVET Expert Yerevan, 28th November 2018
Outline • Context • Cluster approach • Employment approach • TVET approach • Messages
1. Context • Challenges • Small domestic markets with limited purchasing power • Focus so far on expanding foreign trade to promote economic development • Export-oriented strategy achieved only limited success in improving the employment situation and living conditions • Core challenge consists thus in the difficult framework conditions for sustainable economic development in the sectors relevant for employment • Strategy • Addressing the cluster approach to raise potentials for the development of regions • Using the integrated (youth-)employment approach to promote employment especially in labor-intensive sectors • Focusing on the aim that employment growth – within the formal and informal sector – must not be absent due to a lack of qualifications (well-trained skilled labor force)
4. TVET approach • Creating a common understand about TVET and the involvement of the private sector (governance) in the regions • Strengthening the regional and international exchange of good-practice in sustainable private sector development and cooperative/dual TVET • Highlighting mutually beneficial cooperation between public and the private sector • Piloting innovative TVET projects concerning updated cooperation structures, college’s teaching capacities and new qualification offers • Support for TVET will increase the supply of skilled labor so that there will be no dampened employment growth due to shortages of skilled workers
5. Messages • TVET is a central starting point within the cluster approach to raise potentials for the development and employment promotion • TVET is also a most relevant element of the promotion of the supply side of employment • TVET needs a common understand about TVET, the involvement of the private sector and the beneficial cooperation between public and the private sector • TVET is able to increase the supply of skilled labor to reduce the shortages of skilled workers which will promote – in the formal and informal sector – employment growth • TVET will contribute to reduce structural unemployment, underemployment and sustainable economic development
