Activity under preparation EU-Ghana Pact for skills The EU-Ghana Pact for Skills is a comprehensive programme that seeks to increase youth employment through reducing the persistent mismatch between the skills offered by training providers and the requirements of the private sector and improving employment services for an easier access to the job market. The programme thus aims to boost the creation of new careers in low-carbon and digital sectors.Formal vocational training at the secondary and tertiary level suffers from a lack of infrastructure, limited market-oriented training, and inefficient labour market orientation. Digital and green jobs have enormous potential and could substantially contribute to reduce youth unemployment. The proposed action addresses these issues through a multi-level approach ¿ macro, meso, and micro ¿ to capacity development and promotes cooperation between the government, the private sector, the employment services and the training institutions for a smoother transition into future job markets.The action¿s overall objective is to boost decent employment for all with a special focus on digital and green sectors.The action has four main outcomes (specific objectives):·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SO.1: Enhanced sustainable financing of TVET and policy coherence across skills-development programmes and environmental policies.·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SO.2: Increased relevance and availability of competency-based training (CBT) programmes to respond to labour market needs, including for digital and green transitions.·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SO.3: Better transition of students in tertiary education into the job market, mainly in green and digital sectors·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SO.4:&nbsp;Increased effectiveness of employment services to facilitate a smoother transition into the job market.To achieve the results of the action, the EU will partner with a wide range of stakeholders to: i) enhance the capacities of state actors to implement key TVET reforms; ii) boost TVET-industry cooperation by enhancing private sector participation in curriculum design and training (with a focus on the integration of green and digital skills in certain trades) iii) promote North-South cooperation through partnerships between European and Ghanaian universities and, iv) improve employment services for job seekers.
