Förderung beruflicher Bildung II (VPT) Support for Technical and Vocational Education and Training II Ghanaische Klein- und Kleinstbetriebe aus dem informellen Sektor haben bisher nur sehr eingeschränkte finanzielle und ökonomische Teilhabe am Berufsbildungssystem. Das Programm Förderung der beruflichen Bildung in Ghana ist Bestandteil des deutsch-ghanaischen EZ Schwerpunktbereichs Nachhaltige Wirtschaftsentwicklung und verfolgt das Ziel, den Zugang zu bedarfsgerechter beruflicher Bildung zu verbessern und eine angemessenen Beschäftigung (decent employment) zu fördern. Wesentliche Maßnahmen zur Zielerreichung sind FZ-Mittel subventionierte Kurzkurse, die Einführung dualer Ausbildungen und den Competency Based Training (CBT)-Ansatz für den informellen Sektor. Das Vorhaben dient zur Wettbewerbsförderung zwischen den existierenden Trainingsanbietern auf Basis des Kriteriums Qualität/Marktgerechtigkeit. Für die Trainingsanbieter werden Anreize gesetzt, die Qualität der Aus- und Fortbildungsangebote und deren Quantität dem Bedarf der Unternehmen entsprechend anzupassen. Partner des Vorhabens ist das Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET), ausgewählte Trainingsinstitute und Berufsverbände. Die Zielgruppe sind Inhaber/-innen, Lehrlinge und Arbeiter/-innen von Klein- und Kleinstbetrieben des informellen Sektors, die bislang keinen Zugang zu formaler Berufsbildung haben. Phase II des FZ-Vorhabens wird sich zuerst auf die vier Regionen Greater Accra, Volta, Northern Region und Ashanti sowie die fünf Berufsfelder building construction, automotive repairs, consumer electronics, garment/tailoring/dress making sowie beauty/cosmetics beschränken. Die Phase II beginnt parallel zur Phase I im November 2018 und wird voraussichtlich im Oktober 2021 abgeschlossen sein. Bei Gesamtkosten von 11,5 Mio. EUR beläuft sich der FZ-Beitrag auf 10,0 Mio. EUR. Der Eigenbeitrag der ghanaischen Regierung beträgt 1,0 Mio. EUR, der der Kursteilnehmer rund 0,5 Mio. EUR. Small and micro enterprises in the informal sector in Ghana have so far had only very limited financial and economic participation in the vocational training system. The programme Promotion of Vocational Education and Training in Ghana is part of the German-Ghanaian DC sector Sustainable Economic Development and aims to improve access to demand-oriented vocational education and training and promote decent employment. Major activities to achieve the objectives are FC-subsidised short courses, the introduction of dual training and the Competency Based Training (CBT) approach for the informal sector. The project serves to promote competition between existing training providers on the basis of the criterion of quality/market justice. Incentives are set for the training providers to adapt the quality and quantity of the training offers to the needs of the enterprises. The project partners are the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET), as well as selected training institutes and labour associations. The target group are owners, apprentices and workers of small and micro enterprises in the informal sector who have not yet had access to formal vocational training. Phase II of the FC project will first be limited to the four regions of Greater Accra, Volta, Northern Region and Ashanti along with the five occupational fields of building construction, automotive repairs, consumer electronics, garment/tailoring/dress making and beauty/cosmetics. Phase II will begin simultaneously with Phase I in November 2018 and is expected to be completed in October 2021. With total costs of EUR 11.5 million, the FC contribution amounts to EUR 10.0 million. The Ghanaian Government's own contribution amounts to EUR 1.0 million and that of the course participants to around EUR 0.5 million.
