TVET System Strengthening in Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Project will improve the governance of technical and vocational education and training, its financing and the collaboration between public and private sector. This will contribute to education and training programmes that meet labour market needs. As a result, economic growth, employment, and social cohesion as well as alignment with EU standards is stimulated. Switzerland will engage with actors who are willing to reform and provide its expertise with dual apprenticeship systems.

| Contexte | Improving Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is crucial for Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to align with EU standards and address the labour shortages which increasingly affect economic development. As the EU has opened conditional EU accession negotiations, the country faces challenges in its multi-tiered governance structure, hindering effective TVET reforms. Despite strategic plans, progress has been limited, with the EU noting a lack of significant progress. The administrative complexity of the country with 12 sub-ational TVET systems, results in a fragmentation of the stakeholder landscape and a lack of coordination. The private sector’s concerns over the skills gap and its impact on economic competitiveness highlight the need for better coordination and stronger engagement between education and labour markets. TVET is also gender-biased with young women underrepresented with a share of only 30% of students. Based on its on-going, long-term cooperation in the sector, combined with highly sought after Swiss expertise on dualTVET systems, Switzerland provides added value to the important issue of TVET governance and financing together with interested local public and private sector partners. |
| Objectifs | The overall goal is to strengthen TVET governance and coordination based on evidence-based policy making and in line with European quality assurance principles. |
| Groupes cibles | The target group includes education authorities, TVET schools, employers and their associations/chambers. TVET students are the end bene ficiaries of the Project |
