Training programmes for learners aged 15–25 in Mali, Cameroon and DR Congo combining technical and vocational education with transversal skills

The programmes aimed to provide work-based learning opportunities for young people aged 15–25, particularly from vulnerable groups, by combining technical and vocational education with the development of transversal skills such as life skills, teamwork and entrepreneurship, aligned with local labour market needs. Main activities included organising practical workplace training, delivering technical and transversal skills training, and offering initial and in-service training for teachers to strengthen teaching quality and support the socio-professional integration and autonomy of young participants.
