description:

The effectiveness and impact of the training processes both in entrepreneurship issues and professional skills depends on the rigor applied to screen the potential of the candidates and verify their future prospects of making a living using the content of the training.

context:

Training programs are frequently designed upon the assumption that most of the trainees are going to find opportunities to apply what they have been trained for, but in many cases the conditions are not given from the very outset of the process. There should be some realistic prospects for the trainees to put into practice the skills acquired later on.

success:

Conducting the project training activities through the existing TVET institutions represents an opportunity to build their capacities and engage these institutions in the provision of services to the returnee community.

challenges:

The results-oriented approach usually places pressure on the project managers to reach more and more beneficiaries trained. Training can be presented as an achievement in itself since the participants are provided with new sets of skills and abilities that they might be eventually able to use, but it can be also a source of frustration for the participants and an inefficient way of using the resources available.

administrative_issues:

ILO SME guidelines already refer the screening of candidates as a crucial step to ensure the success of the training processes. This seems to suggest that the main difficulty for its effective application rest at the implementation level. Note comments above about the pressure to achieve results.
