MEDA Partners are characterized
by their heterogeneity regarding
their size, demography, and
geographical, economic and
political situations. However,
most countries in the region can
be defined as economies and
societies in transition,
characterized by a young
population (60% below the age of
25), the predominance of a
tertiary sector mainly activated
by SMEs, concentrated in a
limited number of sectors and an
important informal sector.
In the light of explanations
above, technical and vocational
education and training (TVET)
may be considered as one of the
key means to reinforce
competitiveness, employment and
integration in the MEDA Region.
Although at different pace,
reform of TVET systems is
considered as top priority by
the majority of countries in the
region.
The overall objective of the
project is to support MEDA
partners in the design of
relevant technical and
vocational education and
training policies that can
contribute to promote employment
through a regional approach.
Based on a common consensus
among Euromed partners, ETF was
selected as Implementing Body of
the project.
The project has four
components:
Component 1- Yearly Euromed
Forum on TVET for Employment
Component 2- Euromed Network on
TVET for Employment
Component 3- Support for Young
Unemployed People in the Areas
of Self-Employment and
Micro-Enterprise Creation
Component 4- Development of
e-Learning for training in
information and communication
technologies and technical and
vocational education and
training.
The component 3 is concerned
with the identification and
networking of service providers
which work for young unemployed
people in the areas of
self-employment and the creation
of micro enterprises in the MEDA
region, the
analysis
of practices, methods and tools,
matching of supply and demand in
this area, the implementation of
pilot projects to transfer good
practice, methods and tools, and
their dissemination in the
region. The main direct
beneficiaries of the project are
public and private providers of
support, counseling training and
follow-up services and low
skilled young people and young
graduates who are assisted by
service providers are the final
beneficiaries.
The specific objective of the
project, i.e. of component 3, is
to reinforce the capacities of
service providers in MEDA
partners countries working for
young unemployed people in the
areas of self-employment and the
creation of micro enterprises.
