Description

The module "Skills Development for Youth Employment (SKYE II)" in Nigeria is part of the programme "Training and Sustainable Growth for Decent Jobs" and is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It is one of a total of six modules in the development cooperation programme "Training and Sustainable Growth for Decent Jobs" and builds on the previous TC module SKYE. The module is co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). SKYE II aims to improve employment and income opportunities for Nigerian young people. To achieve this, the SKYE ll follows an integrated approach to employment promotion. Measures on the supply side of the labour market (promotion of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) are combined with interventions in employment services (matching, career guidance and counselling job matching and job placement, short-term trainings and labour market information). SKYE ll focuses on sectors with high employment potential by improving employability for dependent or self-employment, while promoting a favourable environment for the creation of new jobs in labour-intensive sectors and supporting the matching of labour supply and demand. The programme aims to improve employment prospects and income of the target groups through various interventions. It addresses strengthening of policy frameworks for development of demand-oriented vocational training and promotion of employment; improving the quality of vocational training; strengthening job centres and expanding the active labour market measures for employment promotion; strengthening structures for sustainable training of staff of vocational education and career counsellors; and strengthening private sector engagement in TVET. Context SKYE II builds on the impact achieved under SKYE I regarding enhancing the demand-orientation of TVET and the expansion of capacities in TVET and employment promotion. At the macro level, SKYE supports further improvement of the regulatory frameworks, which also includes establishing and strengthening cooperation between stakeholders to make change processes more efficient and sustainable. At the meso level, the Capacity Development (CD) strategy strengthens the capacities of intermediary organisations, while at the micro level, partners are supported in developing, adapting and implementing TVET and labour market policies and strategies. The project also specifically promotes the participation of women, vulnerable and disadvantaged groups at all levels. The programme directly addresses the necessary improvements regarding the quality and needs orientation of TVET and labour market services and thus access to employment. Accordingly, the module objective is - Access to the labour market for current and future trainees and job seekers in selected states of Nigeria is improved. It focuses on policy advisory related to TVET and employment promotion, strengthening the capacities of relevant structures, e.g. public-private dialogue on the macro level, further TVET teachers training, and the systemic anchoring and implementation of the occupational standards developed in selected TVET institutions, strengthening the cooperation of the institutions with the private sector, as well as support in establishment of new job centres and further development of Active Labour Market Measures (ALMM) and Labour Market Information System (LMIS). Thereby, cooperation with the private sector is key. Gender equality serves as a cross-cutting topic and plays a crucial role in all focus areas. SKYE II Target groups are TVET students, job seekers (unemployed and underemployed), who are given access to demand driven TVET and the labour market measures in the following states: Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Edo, Enugu, Lagos, Ogun and Plateau. In addition, the target groups also include graduates of skills-based training programmes and job seekers, with a special focus on women, vulnerable and disadvantaged groups who do not have equal economic participation due to poorer access to educational opportunities.
