Upskilling and vocational training

Challenge and goal:

According to the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine and the ILO, Ukraine will need 8.6 million additional skilled workers by 2032. Displacement, demographic change, and destruction of educational institutions are root causes for the shortage of skilled workers. Therefore, in the focus area of “Upskilling and Vocational Training”, the Skills Alliance members exchange on labour market needs to address the skills mismatch, update each other on vocational education and training programmes and innovative approaches as well as potential sources of funding.

Deliverables:

• Mapping of continuing education and vocational training programs;
• Identification of current funding opportunities and creation of a strategic plan to secure further resources;
• Assessment of labour market demand in key sectors for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
