Challenge & Motivation
In Lebanon, communities are affected by humanitarian, economic, and governmental crises that threaten their livelihoods. Unemployment numbers are high and increasing, particularly among young people. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (T-VET) can make a meaningful contribution to socio-economic development in the country by providing urgently needed, relevant skills for the labour market.
Ambition
By establishing STRIPES Centres the project aims to enhance T-VET’s capacity in Lebanon to develop and implement work-based learning programmes linking skilled graduates to the labour market. Specifically, the STRIPES project aims to build the capacity of two T-VET providers in Lebanon (CIS College and INMAA) to advance in the field of demand-oriented and opportunity-driven education by improving their responsiveness to job market-relevant needs and skills. The project will also assist IRADA in upscaling its operations enabling clear insights into the needs of the labour market and transferring these into the T-VET system in Lebanon.
Objectives
- Develop the institutional context and organisational capacity needed for the STRIPES T-VET centres to thrive.
- Strengthen the operational capacity of the STRIPES centres by delivering training on employability skills; training on anticipatory systems for the T-VET institutions to develop future labour market responsive curriculum; and training on recruitment, internship coordination, mentoring and coaching.
- Establish two physical STRIPES centres in Lebanon and install the tools necessary for inclusive digitisation.
- Provide training to digitise courses and to create an online STRIPES platform that links T-VET graduates to the labour market with the intention to scale.
