Decentralized Management of Skills Training

The aim of this project is to build the capacity of national and regional authorities to design and implement a decentralized vocational skills training system that is responsive to labour market needs. An extension of the project beginning in 2010 aims to scale up the project’s achievements in six pilot schools and three pilot regions to the national level. It works closely with key national ministries and a number of stakeholders to ensure that the methodologies/approaches developed by the project continue to be integrated into Ukraine’s skills training system and lead to further systemic behavioural changes of management and staff. In particular the project focuses on establishing a strong group of champions and future leaders within the skills training system primarily at the regional level to disseminate project innovations to skills training institutions throughout the country.
