| Project Detail |
Through the components of its technical and vocational education training programs, SDC contributes to better job-opportunities for young Eritreans in their home-country and better life perspectives. The new Swiss pilot programs shall build trust and credibility between the two Governments leading to opportunities for a regular, broad bilateral policy dialogue.
Target groups TVET trainers and TVET students are the key target group of the project. With regards to the students, a well balanced recruitment approach for girls and boys students and female and male teachers will be sought. Don Bosco is specifically recruiting students from the underprivileged segment of the eritrean youngsters, whereas the school in Massawa aims to work with companies in the private and semi-private sector in order to improve the skill of their employees.

In the medium term the program contributes to establish a functional TVET system with dual elements.
