RATIONALE
The skills gaps assessment 2019 indicates that there is a significant mismatch between the training programs and the labor market demands and as such trainees find it difficult to get into the labor markets. This stems from the curricula used by the training institutions to train young people for the job market. Most often the curricula are outdated, not addressing labour market needs and or not competency base.
To foster the linkage between training institutions and employers in general, and to train according to the needs of the labour market and translate the results of the labour market data into relevant training programs. ITC has invested in the development and upgrading of twelve curricula which were validated in December 2021.To ensure the effective delivery of the curricula, ITC will support training of trainers for 10 teachers selected from various TVET centres across the Country.
