  1.  MOL and E-TVET Council Capacity Building
  2.  Instructional and Curriculum Capacity Building and Development
  3.  Support for the Employer Driven Funding Mechanism (Training and Employment Fund)
  4.  Project Management.
Strategic interventions will be made in policy, planning, coordination and information management at the Ministry of Labour, in training needs assessment capacity, building content, instructional capacity in vocational training, improved interaction and mobilization of Employers in the planning and delivery of skills upgrading and in improved financing opportunities through improved awareness and institutional development and operation of the Training and Employment Fund (TEF). The project will be delivered through the provision of strategic Canadian long term technical advisors, short term technical assistance, training, and engagement of local professionals. It is expected that the project will directly contribute to an improved TVET system, providing increased employment opportunities for youth and women, upgraded engagement of the private sector in HRD, enhanced financing for employer-identified training needs and continuing education programs.
