Initial situation

The state vocational training system is unable to offer enough training places that adequately prepare them for employment in the economy or as qualified self-employed persons. For cultural reasons, women are severely disadvantaged in terms of training, employment, income and social participation.
Objective
Vocational training institutes in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab regions are better able to plan and manage in a needs-oriented manner. Vocational school graduates and job seekers find employment in growth sectors more easily.

In order to exploit the potential of growth sectors, the project promotes new training content in the areas of digitalization and green skills (skills for a sustainable economy). This gives young vocational school graduates and job seekers in these sectors better job prospects.

• Promoting entry into the job market and career planning
• Orienting training more towards digitalisation and green skills
• Continuing training for vocational training staff
• Improving access to incom
