CTVET Partners World Vision Ghana to Expand Skills Development Opportunities for Youth
The Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with World Vision Ghana (WVG) to strengthen Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and expand opportunities for young people across Ghana. The partnership seeks to enhance access to quality skills development, particularly for students, out-of-school youth, and vulnerable groups, while contributing to Ghana’s broader agenda of building a resilient and productive workforce.
Through the collaboration, CTVET and World Vision Ghana will work together to equip young people with industry-relevant, job-ready skills that respond to the evolving demands of the labour market. The partnership will focus on strengthening TVET delivery through innovative training approaches, practical learning opportunities, and stronger linkages between training institutions and industry. By aligning skills development with real economic opportunities, the initiative aims to improve employability and support youth in transitioning successfully into the world of work.
A key component of the partnership is promoting inclusion and equitable access to skills training. Both organisations will place particular emphasis on expanding opportunities for girls, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups who often face barriers to education and employment. By creating more inclusive training pathways, the initiative seeks to ensure that TVET continues to serve as a powerful tool for social mobility and economic empowerment.
The collaboration will also support the professional development of educators and facilitators within the TVET ecosystem. Through targeted training programmes and capacity-building initiatives, instructors and trainers will be equipped with modern pedagogical methods and industry-aligned competencies required to deliver high-quality technical and vocational education. Strengthening the capacity of trainers is expected to enhance the overall quality and relevance of TVET programmes across participating institutions and communities.
In addition to strengthening training systems, the partnership will promote innovation and sustainable practices aimed at building resilient communities. By integrating practical skills, entrepreneurship development, and sustainability principles into training programmes, young people will be better prepared to create employment opportunities for themselves and contribute meaningfully to local economic development.
The MoU further seeks to create stronger pathways to employment, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning. By fostering closer collaboration between the skills development sector, community organisations, and industry, the partnership will help ensure that trainees are not only equipped with technical competencies but are also supported in accessing employment opportunities and starting their own enterprises.
This collaboration reflects the continued commitment of the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training to strengthening Ghana’s TVET ecosystem through strategic partnerships with development organisations and stakeholders. By working together with World Vision Ghana, CTVET aims to expand the reach and impact of skills development programmes, particularly in underserved communities where opportunities for young people may be limited.
Ultimately, the partnership marks an important step toward preparing Ghana’s youth for the future of work. Through coordinated action, inclusive training opportunities, and strengthened institutional capacity, CTVET and World Vision Ghana are contributing to the development of a skilled, confident, and empowered generation capable of driving sustainable growth and national development.
