This document reports on four studies into the cooperation between technical and vocational education (TVE) institutions and the world of work. These studies were part of a series of studies on existing approaches to such cooperation initiated by UNESCO within its UNEVOC Project. The studies took place in Hungary, Romania, Sweden and the Russian Federation. They were undertaken by experts from the countries themselves on the basis of guidelines provided by Dr. R. Barry Hobart, Consultant to UNESCO. A synthesis is provided by Dr. Hobart to identify and describe the common variables that are operating with respect to education for the world of work in each of the case studies included. The report is divided into two sections. The first section contains the studies from Hungary, Romania and Sweden that examined the policies and legislation in TVE designed to enhance cooperation with the world of work. The second section reports on the study from the Russian Federation that investigated aspects of cooperation between the training institution and the individual enterprise in the implementation of such policies.

The project Entrepreneurship Education in the Arab States is implemented jointly by the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training, Bonn and the UNESCO Regional Bureau for Education in the Arab States, Beirut. It is funded by the StratREAL Foundation, United Kingdom. Entrepreneurship education (EPE) in the Arab States includes two main components: (1) the collection and dissemination of innovative and successful experiences of EPE from different countries of the region (2009-2010); and (2) providing technical support for the development of strategic plans to facilitate the incorporation of the concept of EPE in education systems (2010-2012). The National Centre for Human Resources Development (a UNEVOC Centre in Jordan) had been commissioned for the implementation of component one. Educational experts from four countries (Egypt, Jordan, Oman and Tunisia) prepared case studies on the current situation of entrepreneurship education. Based on the four country case studies, a regional synthesis report was prepared, which highlights the national and regional contexts and expectations of EPE in the Arab region. The case studies and the regional synthesis report are contained within this document as follows: A case study of Jordan / Munther Masri; A case study of Tunisia / Mohamed Jemni; A case study of Oman / Ahmed M. Al-Ghassani; A case study of Egypt / Aboubakr A. Badawi; Regional synthesis report / Munther Masri. Show less

Entrepreneurship education as a tool to support self-employment in Kenya

In recent years, flexibility, adaptability and lifelong learning have become major objectives of best practice, in addition to employability. The notion of ‘best practice’ was introduced in [technical and vocational education and training] TVET institutions in Kenya in 1994 and continued to this day because there is a pool of qualified personnel to sustain the programme. Many TVET graduates become self-employed and apply the entrepreneurial skills they have acquired in technical training institutions in their businesses. The response of TVET institutions in Kenya to the continued training needs of business aligns training closer to the demands of the labour market. Kenya has a well-established system of involving enterprises in establishing the content of training, which makes it possible to train young people more effectively for the workplace.
