The review of vocational training in Timor-Leste was conducted by the Secretaria de Estado da Formação Profissional e Emprego (SEFOPE); Direcção Nacional de Formação Profissional (DNFP), during 2007. It provides a picture of training providers registered with the DNFP; it does not provide comprehensive information on skills development programs developed as part of international donor funded programs. The low levels of formal education and adult literacy coupled with the rapid growth in the labour force present major challenges for the development of a comprehensive,relevant technical and vocational education and training system.
The DNFP took a broad view of what constitutes a vocational training provider in order to ensure that all programs that support skills development for employment or income generation were included. The review identified 39 vocational training providers and 12 technical secondary schools. The majority of providers are in Dili and more than half are in the two major centres, Dili and Baucau. No training provider or technical secondary school has been identified in either Ermera or Viqueque. The 39 training providers have been divided into four types; Non-Government Organisations (NGO), Church, Government and Private. The NGO training providers and Church institutions account for 72 per cent of all vocational training inTimor-Leste.
