LELAM-TVET4INCOME begins second phase
Second phase of LELAM-TVET4INCOME officially started after successful completion of the first phase
The project, which aims to understand how policy makers in low- and middle-income countries can improve the youth labour-market situation with formal, non-formal and informal TVET, has begun its second phase after a mid-term project evaluation.
Started in June 2017 for an initial period of three years, the LELAM-TVET4INCOME project has now been extended another 36 months, until June 2023. This additional time period will allow the project partners to advance their research to develop a conceptual framework for composition and interdependence of social institutions in formal, non-formal and informal Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and an empirical test of this framework in each of the partner countries. It will also allow for further study of the youth education and labour market contexts, how these have changed since the beginning of the project, and in what way educational interventions and reforms have affected such change.
