Skill-UP Ghana aims to move the [technical and vocational education and training] TVET system from a supply to a demand-driven system by building on existing structures and strengthening institutional resources to promote a better understanding of the skills demanded in economic sectors. Tourism and hospitality is a critical sector for the Ghanaian economy; in terms of the number of people employed in the sector, its role to meet local demand and its export potential. The definition of the tourism and hospitality sector is the provision of tourism and hospitality services to domestic and international tourists and visitors. It encompasses: accommodation; food and beverage; attractions; creative arts and transport. Skills mismatch and shortages are a common challenge. In response, the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET) in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has established Sector Skills Bodies (SSBs) for the agriculture, construction and tourism and hospitality sectors with the aim of establishing a demand-led TVET system in these sectors. To support their establishment, the ILO worked with the SSBs to develop sector skills strategies through applying ILO's Skills for Trade and Economic Diversification (STED) approach in order to better align skills development to labour market needs. This document sets out that strategy and outlines a range of proposed actions to address the skill needs of the tourism and hospitality sector identified through the process by the SSB members.
