Study to assess the inclusion of youth with disabilities in TVET and among selected companies in the Ghanaian tourism and hospitality sector

SKILL-UP Programme is a joint effort of the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs aimed to help the ILO Member States enhance their skills systems to take advantage of new opportunities offered by emerging global drivers of change relating to increased digitalization, international trade integration, technological change, large international migration flows, climate change, and demographics, among others. The overall objectives of this assessment were to identify, through surveys with staff from training institutions and companies, and including persons with disabilities, key challenges and barriers limiting disability inclusion, opportunities to address these challenges and inclusive approaches in practice. The results of this assessment provide evidence and recommendations to support the formulation and implementation of policies to facilitate disability-inclusiveness in the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system and in the industry sector. The assessment study found deficits in the supply of TVET and in the labour demand for persons with disabilities. Provisions to support overcoming these challenges should take into account the central role of the National Council of Persons with Disabilities.
