Held in Botswana, this year’s TVET Pitso brought together key stakeholders from government, industry, academia, and civil society to engage in critical dialogue on the future of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
The event focused on:
- Redefining the TVET operational framework
- Aligning TVET programmes with labour market demands and emerging sectors
- Promoting youth entrepreneurship and self-reliance
- Strengthening multi-sector collaboration
- Repositioning TVET as a pillar for inclusive, sustainable national development
Highlighted discussion areas included:
•Optimizing TVET resources for more responsive, job-ready graduates
•Strengthening partnerships to boost industry relevance
•Innovations in agriculture-based vocational training
We were honored to be represented by Svitlana Vorobets of DEULA-Nienburg (Germany), who shared insights on German vocational training strategies in the agricultural sector, with a focus on the dual training system and DEULA’s contribution to sustainable agricultural skills development.
The event served as a valuable platform for knowledge exchange, policy dialogue, and building partnerships to enhance the relevance and impact of TVET systems across Africa and beyond.
