The Youth Transitions and Network Consolidation Regional Workshop was held in Gaborone, Botswana on 20-22 May 2014. This brief report provides an overview of the workshop. The workshop was designed based on the following objectives: to place youth employment and related issues on the regional political agenda; to highlight regional success stories; to further strengthen the UNEVOC Network consolidation process in the region; to provide a platform for learning and sharing experiences; to offer an opportunity to actively participate in and shape the regional technical and vocational education and training (TVET) discourse and to enhance the institutional capacities of the participating UNEVOC Centres. The event was attended by nearly 50 speakers and delegates from 11 countries (Botswana, Ethiopia, Germany, Kenya, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Senegal, South Africa and Zambia). International organizations were represented through UNESCO and the International Labour Organization (ILO), along with the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Germany's agency for international cooperation. Regional and national TVET institutions (ministries, national TVET bodies, training and research institutions and nongovernment organisations [NGOs]) were represented in their capacity as UNEVOC Centres and local institutions.

Promising practices in TVET: green skills and youth employment

Youth employability and green skills are at the core of UNESCO-UNEVOC's activities. This is why UNESCO-UNEVOC has been collecting 'promising practices' in technical and vocational education and training (TVET) from UNEVOC Network members. These promising practices illustrate how UNEVOC Network members from around the world are using technical and vocational skills to address two major global challenges that are affecting every country in the world, and are therefore high up on the post-2015 development agenda: making youth employable and achieving sustainable development. All UNEVOC Network members were invited to showcase how TVET is being oriented to the demands of greening the economy and addressing youth unemployment at the level of their school or institution, their region or their country. The aim of this exercise was to share knowledge of established innovative practices – 'success stories' – that have proven to be effective and that promote TVET in some profound way, either within a particular TVET sub-sector or at local, regional or national level. The submissions were reviewed in terms of their impact, innovation and potential for replication using a conceptual framework specifically developed for identifying and analysing promising practices. Some of the most promising, interesting and inspiring practices on each of the two themes – green skills and youth employment – are published in this booklet.

This biennial report provides a comprehensive overview of the UNESCO-UNEVOC International Centre for Technical and Vocational Education and Training’s activities in this field of education during 2010-2011. It indicates how the centre has helped to improve technical and vocational education and training (TVET) in UNESCO member states. Specifically, UNESCO-UNEVOC contributed to the biennial sectoral priority in education which focused on ‘scaling up equity, inclusion and quality in education and lifelong learning for sustainable development and a culture of peace and non-violence’. UNESCO-UNEVOC contributed to the acceleration of progress towards Education for All (EFA) and education for sustainable development (ESD).
UNESCO-UNEVOC undertook a range of activities promoting TVET development in all regions of the world. In response to the Shanghai Consensus, UNESCO-UNEVOC placed emphasis on capacitating the UNEVOC Network and engaging its members to shape the Centre’s work and activities. Network members identified youth and skills, with a specific focus on school-to-work transitions and entrepreneurship, and greening TVET, with a specific focus on teacher training and curriculum development, as crucial themes for all regions and developed a plan of action for the second half of the biennium.
