E-LEARNING COURSE ON SKILLS AND TVET IN GCC WITH A SOUTH-SOUTH APPROACH
Partnership building through promotion of technical cooperation & capacity building of constituents using a SSTC approach: A South-South Perspective
The Mini-Skills Academy was organized to address the challenges facing Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), such as outdated curricula, absence of continuous professional development and poorly equipped schools, poor coordination, and collaboration between TVET and the private sector restricting TVET responsiveness to the labour market. The academy also created a platform for open discussion among participants to share knowledge and experiences and identify ways to address common challenges and replicate good practices through the establishment of an online community of practice.
