Skills that work: Improving the employability of low and middle-skilled workers

The project aims to leverage the G20 Initiative to promote Quality Apprenticeships by facilitating knowledge exchange on apprenticeships through peer review workshops, developing practical tools and guidelines as part of a toolbox, and further developing the methodology for analysing the cost and benefits for firms engaging in apprenticeships. The project will seek to develop the capabilities of beneficiary countries to improve their quality apprenticeship systems, extend their capacity to better train those who need it most, and thereby contribute to each country's competitiveness and economic growth. The project focuses on improving the delivery of demand-led training in the formal technical and vocational education and training system (TVET) in close partnership with the private sector. The project has three inter-linked components (outputs): 1) Increased knowledge on national initiatives to promote quality apprenticeships; 2) A global cost-benefit analysis method on quality apprenticeships proposed and piloted in South Africa; and 3) Guide and tools for quality apprenticeships produced and disseminated.
