Technical and Vocational Education and Training to empower refugee and host communities in Ethiopia

This factsheet captures activities initiated by ILO PROSPECTS Partnership in Ethiopia to support access of host and refugee community to technical and vocational skills training, to create labour market linkages, and promote disability inclusion.

Decent work gives people perspectives and stabilizes communities that have been transformed by a large influx of newcomers. To obtain a decent job, people need to have the right skills to find work, to build their career, to contribute productively to society and integrate into local economic life. To support employability and refugees’ access to labour markets, PROSPECTS is putting in place several skills-related interventions.

This factsheet provides brief on successful skills development and inclusion initiatives implemented through ILO PROSPECTS Partnership in Ethiopia.
