As part of the United Nations’ engagement with countries in the South and Southeast Asian region, the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Centre of the United Nations Office of Counter-Terrorism is working in partnership with the ILO to bridge the gap between technical training systems and industry needs through capacity building and the strengthening of a select group of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. The project’s activities include organizing a series of capacity-building workshops in Indonesia to train managers and principals of technical and vocational education institutes on leadership development, management, curriculum enhancement industry linkages and entrepreneurship. By improving the capacity of TVET institutions through a focus on enhancing and updating their skills development programs and delivery services, this joint UN project is prioritising the well-being of young people, particularly those from vulnerable groups, by promoting their access to socioeconomic opportunities.
