Professional technical training Bolivia

The project

The solutions provided by the project to for this problem are:

• Coordination with the public and private business sectors to expand the job opportunities for students. Surveys done on technical training show that job insertion for technical training graduates is a "bottleneck", therefore it is necessary not only to streamline the training courses based on the labour demand, but also to participate in the curriculum enhancement and provide internships opportunities and work practices to graduates. Financial and non-financial services for sustainable self-employment will be directed in order to generate models and business plans to ensure that the participants of the centers have the tools and knowledge necessary to start their productive ventures.
• Strategies to foment student retention and the completion of their educational processes based on identifying alternatives to overcome the main obstacles they face in access to education and the retention of young people and women in Technical Technological Institutes (TTI).
• The centers will work to provide equipment and supplies to contribute to the quality of training, as well as the necessary support required in updating and qualifying technical teachers according to their needs.
• Achieve a better coordination at the micro, meso and macro levels. At the local level, for example, development agencies and authorities will be involved to contribute in the design of different curricula according to the different contexts so that young people can achieve internships or work experiences that will guide them in the development of their skills and life projects.

The objective of the project is to contribute to a greater economic and social equity by improving access to jobs for the vulnerable and poor population, prioritizing sectors that have productive and labour potential.
