Skills development and workforce transformation
From national priorities to a workforce that actually has the skills.
Skills development starts with the economy a country has and the one it wants: which industries are growing, where the labour market is short, what institutions can deliver now, and what young people and workers are asking for. We help governments, development programs and institutions turn those priorities into programs that can be run, funded, measured and kept.
Our work goes further than curriculum. A good program also needs institutions with the capacity to deliver it, industry that will take its graduates, a quality system that keeps it honest and implementation arrangements that survive a change of minister. We design all of that together, because in our experience that is the only way any of it lasts.
What we do
- National, regional and sector skills strategies
- Skills system assessments and institutional capability mapping
- Industry and labour-market needs analysis
- Competency-based curriculum and assessment frameworks
- Training of trainers and institutional capacity development
- Program design, implementation support and monitoring
- Workforce readiness, employability and enterprise programs
- Skills pathways for young people, women and communities the system has left behind
What we leave behind
We turn workforce policy into operating programs, capable institutions and employment pathways that hold.
