Twinning and mentoring partnerships (2019-2022)

LuxDev and the British Council are working to support the development of TVET in different countries through various partnership agreements.

The British Council set up intercontinental Mentoring Partnerships, bringing together local institutions with a UK TVET college, to focus on employer engagement and bring training programmes closer to the needs of industry.
