Context
This Country Action Plan for the Democratic Republic of Congo is an intervention that is based on the achievements of the EDUKAT program executed by Enabel in Haut-Katanga and Lualaba under the cooperation program from Belgium.
Based on a prospective market analysis of employment and labor needs in the sector economic, the project aims to create a more structured collaboration between the actors of the VET system and companies with European capital.
Four specific sectors have been chosen for this VET Toolbox project:
- Construction and public works
- Transport and logistics
- Hotels and restaurants
- Digital
Objective
Contribute to formalizing, developing and testing a integrated recruitment service offer (selection and training) for the benefit of targeted companies (companies fully or partially capitalized European).
Expected main outcome
- Operational implementation of a Sector Skills Council (CCS) within the sectoral chambers of the Fédération des Entreprises du Congo (FEC) based in Lubumbashi with an extension of implementation to Kolwezi.
- Vocational training with an apprenticeship system in partner companies and training structures:
- 300 professional internships
- 20 internship supervisors
- 80 company employees (youth inclusion, gender, and vulnerability)
- Access to decent jobs for:
- 280 people (including 35% of women and 40% of youth)
