VET Toolbox services to increase local benefits of European investment
Investment not only needs finance but also people with the right skills. The new VET Toolbox service supports – in close collaboration with other stakeholders – local people in 11 countries in Sub-Saharan African in acquiring those skills. Dialogue between the public and private sector will be at the basis of targeted actions in specific sectors or value chains.
On 8th June 2021, VET Toolbox presented this new service during an online launch event attended by around 200 participants.
Below you can rewatch the videos that were presented during the launch event. You also can download the powerpoint presentation and relevant documents.

On 20 May 2021 VET Toolbox & Archipelago Programme hosted a webinar on Informal Apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship in the informal economy is widespread and bears huge opportunities. In this webinar you will learn about the key elements of “informal apprenticeship”- systems.
Keynote speaker Patrick Werquin clarifies the concepts and deepen your insights into the functioning of informal apprenticeships in relation to formalised systems. Special focus is on the role of employers and the financial side of informal apprenticeships.
Colleagues from Ghana and Ivory Coast complement with their concrete examples and lessons learned on the topic. Christine Hofmann, from the ILO, joined us for the closing remarks.
