This project component aims to support the Technical, Entrepreneurial, and Vocational Education and Training (TEVET) sector in Malawi. The goal is to increase access to skills development opportunities for young people and adults, with a focus on vulnerable groups. The component includes activities such as expanding infrastructure, improving quality of training, and providing support for entrepreneurship and job placement.
1. Performance Agreements to Support Increased Skills Development through National Technical Colleges
This subcomponent supports seven public NTCs to double their annual intake, improve training quality, and serve as innovation hubs for digital skills development, among other initiatives. It will also incentivise vulnerable youth and girls to participate and offer needs-based informal TEVET programs.
2. Increased Access to Market-oriented TEVET Programs through Competitive Grants
This subcomponent will provide support to expand training offers in Community Technical Colleges, private technical colleges, and Community Skills Development Centres. It will focus on meeting market needs, especially for vulnerable and female youth, with 30 institutions expected to benefit through a competitive grant funding mechanism
3. Increased Equity in Formal TEVET through Scholarships
The project will help TEVETA set up a scholarship fund to support vulnerable secondary school graduates, particularly females, enrolling in regular TEVETA-sponsored apprenticeship programs. The scholarship will cover living expenses, tuition, book/internet allowance, and examination fees, and will be available to students in all registered formal TEVET institutions. The project aims to support at least 5,000 vulnerable students under this program
