OCAT_TVET_Logo

Technical vocational education and training (TVET) institutions have tremendous potential to support economic growth by developing the workforce to meet private sector needs. Yet with no way of measuring and understanding their capacity, TVET institutions can’t optimize their operations to meet the demands of the market. OCAT TVET enables these institutions to assess their organizational capacity to deliver demand-driven technical and vocational education and training and then create needs-based capacity building improvement plans. These plans chart a clear roadmap and outline resources needed to better meet the workforce needs of the private sector. OCAT TVET is effective across a broad range of training institutions including both public and private; non-profit and for-profit; and those serving youth as well as participants of all ages.

In many developing and post-conflict economies, there is a stark misalignment between the demands of the job market and the skills of the workforce.

Opportunities enables practitioners to identify and understand the labor market’s true workforce needs and then build local capacity to train and place individuals in those jobs. By meeting demand, Opportunities prepares individuals for rewarding work and supports the development of robust, inclusive economies across the globe.
