Streamlining Governance To Drive Vocational Education And Training

Challenge

To develop the country’s young talent pool and increase competitiveness on a global stage, we were employed for a two-part project by the Ministry of Trade and Industry to develop a national human resources development strategy for the Egyptian tourism sector and a final TVET law, whilst assessing and expanding a multi-level TVET governance structure.

Approach

We began with an in-depth audit and analysis of previously developed studies and papers relating to TVET strategy and policy papers – all of which we discovered were quite fragmented. We then involved relevant stakeholders representing the private sector from both the industrial and tourism industries to ensure the outputs we proposed were demand driven and able to address the key skills gaps identified. The governance structure was in need of a severe overhaul and required an in-depth SWOT analysis to determine how it could best be revamped. Having identified the capacity and technical measures needed to achieve a multi-level governance structure across the whole policy cycle, we designed a sustainable strategy for multi-level stakeholder engagement.

Results

We successfully collaborated with the Ministry of Trade and Industry and other involved ministries to effectively evolve the structure and performance of the TVET system (serving both the industrial and the tourism sector) and improving its delivery on a national level in order to contribute to boosting youth employability prospects and competitiveness.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

We worked with the CID team for over 2 years to develop our strategies, and CID has provided two teams; one specialized in social issues and community development and the other in reputation management and corporate communications. The two teams are staffed with experienced professionals who are knowledgeable in their fields and have been working closely and effectively with the ERC team. We believe that CID’s guidance and support in developing and implementing our community engagement and communications strategy has been essential in positioning ERC to meet its corporate social responsibility obligations and its commitments to the stakeholders necessary for ERC to secure its social license to operate.
