Vocational Education – A Vehicle for Youth Development and Empowerment

Over the past few decades there has been an increasing growth in automation in most developed and developing countries around the world, and a growing population of unemployed or unemployable people across these countries.

While governments and other agencies intensify efforts aimed at reducing the negative consequences on society other priorities tend to shift governments’ attention away from their country- specific goals.

There is therefore the urgent need to close the skills-gap created by these technological advances, and support efforts to train and empower those most impacted. Expert Vision’s endeavour is thus focused on providing the needed know-how to persons who meet the defined selection criteria.
