  KOSOVO - Operationalise recognition of prior learning as active labour market measure

  The European Union project, Support to vocational education and training, professional requalification and occupation, ESVET PRO has been supporting the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo with technical and financial support, in establishing a legal framework and operational arrangements to include recognition of prior learning as a complementary active labour market measure. Kosovo’s active labour market measures promote labour market integration by reducing job-finding barriers and increasing employment probability.

  More specifically, ESVET PRO has provided technical support to the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo to revise the regulation on active labour market measures (No. 01/2018). This regulation implements the following active labour market measures:

  • vocational training (through vocational training centres );
  • on-the-job training;
  • wage subsidies;
  • internship scheme;
  • self-employment and promoting entrepreneurship; and
  • public works.

  Consequently, the goal was to include recognition of prior learning as part of the active labour market measures mentioned above and operationalise it through the two related manuals:

  • the operational manual for training and re-training; and  
  • the operational manual for employment services provision.

  For this process, ESVET PRO provided specialised expertise for the revision of the two manuals and the provision of training to the directors of VTCs on the implementation and operationalisation of these manuals.

  In June, project ESVET PRO, EU representatives, the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo, vocational training centres directors and other important stakeholders met to celebrate an important milestone : the revision and the update of two manuals that make recognition of prior learning fully operational as active labour market measure.

  The chief technical advisor of the project ESVET PRO, Daniele Cristian Passalacqua, highlighted that “this ceremony constitutes only one of the agreed activities as part of the memorandum of understandings, co-signed between the project ESVET PRO and the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo. Our cooperation aims to support the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo and vocational training centres to fully operationalise recognition of prior learning as an active labour arket measure at national level”.

  
  Daniele Cristian Passalacqua (chief technical advisor of ESVET PRO) and Stergios Tragoudas (programme manager-EU policies-education) discussing regarding the importance of fully operationalizing recognition of prior learning as an active labour market measure.

  The European Union representative, Stergios Tragoudas, expressed his gratitude to the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo for their commitment and professionalism in collaborating with ESVET PRO, a project funded by the European Union and implemented by LuxDev. Mr Tragoudas stated that this event marks an important milestone for Kosovo’s vocational education and training system. He hopes that the ESVET PRO project and the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo will continue to bring greater outcomes to promote quality education and lifelong learning for all in Kosovo.

  The director of the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo, Mr Drin Haraqia and the head of the vocational education and training department, Ms Jehona Rexha, thanked the ESVET PRO project for the support and assured that the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo  would continue its commitment to the organisation of future joint activities.

  The event was followed by a training delivered to all directors of vocational training centres on the implementation of the manuals. The project ESVET PRO will continue to support the employment agency of the Republic of Kosovo and vocational training centres in successfully implementing the recognition of prior learning component throughout Kosovo.

  KOSOVO – Inaugural events kicked off after the establishment of the Industrial Bodies in the three selected schools

  During the last two months, the European Union funded project ESVET PRO celebrated a great milestone through the inauguration of the Industrial Bodies The main purpose of these events was to present the importance of having the private sector as part of the core management within the VET schools and their influence in strengthening the quality and attractiveness of VET. Ensuring the quality and attractiveness of VET is important both in terms of providing the right competencies for the labour market, but also as a means of securing the quantity and the quality of VET graduates.

  Therefore, one of the major components and support of ESVET PRO is the implementation of the Business Model (BM) Approach in the three selected VET schools by the Project. The Project established and started the implementation of the BM by identifying partnership gaps and promoting partnerships for the supported profiles, as well as launching the Industrial Advisory Boards and Industrial Bodies. By establishing the Industrial Bodies, the schools do not merely aim at fostering the relationship with the private sector, instead they also intend to integrate the representatives of local businesses within the middle-management structure of the VET school. This approach will ensure a constant presence of private businesses within schools and will allow the utilization of the resources coming from the private sector. The Business Model approach is being adapted to the Kosovo’s legal and economic environment and with the support of ESVET PRO and Project KSV/020, MESTI is in the process of establishing the legal basis for the implementation of the Business Model management concept in VET schools.

  Until now, the three selected schools have formalized approximately 50 partnerships with private companies that will be engaged in the Industrial Bodies of the schools. More specifically, in each of the three schools there are approximately five to six businesses that are part of one Industrial body. Partner businesses will be continuously involved in terms of reviewing and updating qualification sets, effective provision of work-based learning, capacity development of teachers and school management, and long-lasting partnership for effective sustainability of the school.

  Therefore, following the successful implementation of the Industrial Bodies in the three supported schools; two of the schools organized an inauguration ceremony. The inauguration of the Industrial Bodies was organized and held within the premises of Adem Gllavica and Feriz Guri dhe Vëllezërit Çaka schools in the municipalities of Lipjan and Kaçanik respectively, to celebrate this important achievement for schools and businesses. Part of these events were representatives from the business community, respective municipality officials, school partners, and project representatives.

  Improving VET schools’ performance in line with labour market demand requires big strategic moves. And every big move starts with a first step. The inaugural events were a first step in the long road to making the Business Model a reality.

  LAOS - Adjusted approaches to virtual during the COVID-19 lockdown

  On 22 April 2021, the Lao Government had announced the countrywide lockdown, affecting all sectors of society not least in Vientiane. Pursuant to the Prime Minister’s Order No. 15/PM, dated 21 April 2021, on COVID-19 Prevention and Controlling Measures, suggested all the government offices to initiate rotation staff except the Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Defense, Ministry of Health, firefighters, electricity and public water supply officials, communication officials and task force committee officials. Furthermore, the Ministry of Education and Sport issued a notice for the educational institutions to be closed until further notice and that remote learning would be implemented as appropriate. 

  As a result, all activities of both the LAO/031 project and its counterparts went temporary virtual, as illustrated below through a few examples. 

  

  The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) has dealt with the lockdown by scheduling a rotation for respective staff, necessary because domestic bureaucratic procedures are conducted through paperwork. However, the internal communication is generally done via WhatsApp and phone call. The physical meetings are occasionally organized within the conditions set forth by the government, with no more than 10 individuals in attendance. 

  The Institute for Legal Support and Assistance (ILSTA) has adapted to move to online delivery of training events, and their e-learning platform has been in greater demand during lockdown. ILSTA produces e-Lectures on a range of legal topics based on their Technical Guides which are taught during ILSTA workshops throughout the country and are preparing new online content for capacity building. Examples of this revised modality has included Open Lectures scheduled at the Faculty of Law with online Q&A sessions, as well as e-Lectures with quizzes on the subject matter for more than 270 judiciary and law enforcement officers in all provinces. Furthermore, the English for Law training programmes, including placement testing of new students for the course had to be completed online. This has necessitated developing instructions on how to use apps such as Zoom, the translation of the learning platform (Vedamo) into Lao and circulation in Whatsapp messenger groups, trial classes and training of students in how to access and take part in online lessons. To further facilitate effective participation, students are provided with monthly mobile broadband top-up to enable them to access classes. Based on this experience, ILSTA will continue to develop, deliver and facilitate training and engage with beneficiaries through online forums, viewing it as an opportunity for Lao government staff to enhance their ICT skills and to open up to the world of online learning. 

  The Faculty of Law and Political Science (FLP) of the National University of Laos has launched E-Learning of the five-study programmes to keep the teaching and learning practice on track including: Civil Law, Criminal Law, Business Law, Political Science and International Relations Department. The faculty members have conducted remote learning and disseminate the materials through multiple channels including WhatsApp, Messenger, Google Classroom, Zoom and e-mail. Aside from the instructors’ E-Lectures, students are assigned to collaborate in small groups on research, presentations and interaction sessions. Following that, these students are required to submit their assignments on the due time. Nevertheless, given the lack of online teaching and learning experience, not all faculty members have found themselves able to deliver lectures remotely. 

  

  The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) has also transferred all the learning and teaching activities online instead of the temporary closure, with students attending the virtual classes via computers and mobile phones. However, challenges still to be addressed include a lack of proper equipment, facilities and steady internet connection for both faculty members and students, the need for intensive instruction for teachers on how to use e-learning resources, and the need to enhance students’ knowledge of how to optimize the benefits of remote learning. 

  In contrast to the FLP and NIJ, the Faculty of Law and Administration (FLA) of Champasak University has not implemented remote learning, finding that most of students in provinces unlike students in the capital are unable to make this transition due to lack of capacities, the availability of learning tools and stable internet connections. 

  

  Lastly, the LAO/031 project team has also adjusted all aspect of work to online, from partner support, team collaboration over financial administration. In early May 2021, the annual project audit by the external auditors from Ernst & Young Global Limited was conducted remotely. Switching from mainstream to remote auditing enable auditors to inspect the records anywhere on their convenience; however, this required a massive effort in terms of scanning all supporting documents, a far more time-consuming process than merely consulting binders of physical documents and being able to ask for clarifications from the related staff, which is instead done by e-mail. Furthermore, on 26 May LAO/031 hosted a Zoom-based Technical Coordination Meeting with more than 30 stakeholders from the partner institutions including the universities and justice sector institutions, Luxembourg Development and the Embassy. Successfully conducting the meeting virtually, with each participant connecting individually, sharing of documentation, discussion and exchange, with simultaneous translation Lao/English, is a positive indicator of the capacity and willingness of also the Lao stakeholders to adopt to this new reality – although IT-infrastructure especially outside the capital continues to challenge bridging the gap between the capital and provinces.

  LAO/031 project is co-financed by the Government of Laos and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.

  LAOS - Justice for all Access to Justice Programme

  The programme to enable the Lao people have easier access to justice has reached a remarkable progress since started, Reginald Pastrana, former Chief Technical Advisor of the Support Programme for Legal Teaching and Training and to the Promotion of the Rule of Law Concept in Laos - LAO/031 project said in a report. “As the Lao justice system goes into a significant phase, it will continuously offer citizens numerous options for legal recourse when their rights are violated,” he explained, adding that the Government of Laos (GoL) has instituted a strong legal enabling environment in the promotion of law and the enhancement of access to justice to its people. 

  

  Chief among these was the GoL’s adoption of Prime Minister (PM) Decree No. 77 in establishing legal aid offices and its effort to upgrade the Village Mediation Committees (VMCs), the alternative non-formal justice system, into a PM decree.

  To bridge the gap between Lao citizens and the justice system, LAO/031 has already established five provincial legal aid offices and 15 legal aid offices in various districts. “These legal aid offices rely on trained Ministry of Justice (MoJ) district and provincial officers, together with members of the Lao Bar Association (LBA), to educate their fellow citizens about their legal rights and how to defend their rights in Lao’s formal and informal justice systems,” he explained.

  

  On the Legal Education Campaigns

  

  Pastrana further reported that using a variety of public education materials including comic books, pamphlets, and multimedia CDs, Project LAO/031, together with the Institute of Legal Support and Technical Assistance (ILSTA), supported the various government functionaries, especially the MoJ, to spread information on access to justice, particularly for women and children, to schools, provinces, districts and villages. Important laws were also disseminated including, among others, laws against violation of women and children, the law on human trafficking, land rights, and several others. The Clinical Legal Education at the Faculty of Law and Political Science (FLP) of the National University of Laos, together with some members of the LBA, provided free legal consultations. They also gave legal referrals and information on human rights and other forms of legal assistance.

  Still, many people, especially women, are not aware of their legal rights or how to use the formal justice system. Additionally, many do not know where to turn when they face legal problems that could be resolved through the courts or community mediation. To reach the greatest number of vulnerable Lao citizens, the CTA explained that Mobile Legal Clinic outreach missions were held by the FLP teams at the far-flung province such as Attapeu. “As a result, a large number of people were able to attend and receive information on their legal rights, obtain one-on-one counselling on specific issues and in some cases, filed request,” he said. 

  Capacity Strengthening Programmes

  

  It must be noted that the Lao People’s Supreme Court, the State Inspection Authority, the Office of the Supreme People’s Prosecutor, the MoJ and security sector institutions are critical actors that enforce rule of law, increase security and protect citizens’ rights. However, their capacity and authority are still not fully developed and needs further improvement, he further reported.

  

  To address some of these issues, Pastrana said that the project, together with ILSTA, and in partnership with the GoL’s justice institutions, is undertaking a broad set of activities in the area of justice sector capacity building and modernisation. The primary goal of the project is to support Lao’s judicial institutions to strengthen their capacity with the ultimate purpose of improving the rule of law in Laos. The activities include the capacity development of the officers of these institutions, training on some key developments on law, like anti-money laundering, mutual legal assistance, anti-human trafficking, among others. A strong and reliable justice system in Laos is key to a secure society and a growing economy, he said. 

  LAO/031 project is co-financed by the Government of Laos and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by the Ministry of Education and Sports, Ministry of Justice and LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.

  KOSOVO - The National Plan for the development and implementation of the Kosovo Graduate Tracking System

  Bringing international and local stakeholders together to brainstorm is helpful to see things from different vantage points. On February 23rd, 2021, the Project ESVET PRO- KSV/801 organized a hybrid (in-person and online) workshop for the review of the methodology for the graduate tracking system. This workshop stimulated real-time thoughts, ongoing ideas, and discussions with the international and local stakeholders present.

  The graduate tracking system will provide the VET stakeholders, schools, and Vocational Training Centres (VTCs) with evidence on the graduates’ employability data and skill relevance to the labour market needs.

  Based on the latest decision of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo against the Covid-19 pandemic; the Project, was allowed to host at most 30 participants and all the guidelines on the measures to keep everyone safe during the workshop have been strictly applied. 

  The workshop brought together important VET stakeholders from the Ministry of Education and Science (MES), Employment Agency of the Republic of Kosovo (EARK), Municipal Education Directorate, donor-funded project, and NGOs. Other representatives who could not join the event in-person from European Training Foundation (ETF), and Ministry of Education and Science of North Macedonia participated via Zoom platform.

  

  In the first part of the workshop, the Project presented the draft methodology about the establishment and implementation of the Graduate Tracking System and the support that the Project will provide in this matter.

  
  The Chief Technical Advisor of the Project presenting the draft methodology about the establishment and implementation of the Graduate Tracking System.

  In the second part, based on experience and practical examples, VET stakeholders engaged in in-depth discussions about establishing a sustainable and rigorous methodology for Tracer Study which will serve in the long-term in the VET sector in Kosovo. At the end, an expert from ETF gave a very positive note about the draft methodology as well as confirmed the willingness of ETF to cooperate with the Project towards this direction.

  
  Stakeholders discussing about each of the components of the draft methodology of the Graduate Tracking System.

  This workshop was very fruitful and an important step towards the creation of a graduate tracking system, which can be a very valuable tool that contributes to the labour market information system, particularly when certain criteria are followed. Graduate tracking system for VET sector are implemented in many countries in the world and in the region; therefore, having such system implemented in Kosovo is a crucial step to be closer to European Union standards.

  Reviewing the national plan for the implementation of the Graduate Tracking System is not only important and a great achievement of ESVET PRO and the MES but also a great example of synergy and cooperation between all stakeholders involved in the VET sector.

  Event on Project Inception Report Presentation

  On January 26th, 2021, the Project European Union Support to Vocational Education and Training (VET), Professional Requalification and Occupation (ESVET PRO) organized an event on the presentation of its Inception Report. ESVET PRO is a three year fully funded Project by the European Union and implemented by the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency.

  The Project aims to support the most critical components of VET reform, focusing in improving the structure and performance of the VET offer in Kosovo and contributing to the development of a quality-based, inclusive education, in line with the best international practices.

  The event was held in a virtual setting and attracted a large audience with almost 170 participants from national institutions, civil society, private sector, and donor-funded projects joining in from their work and home. The event was moderated by the CTA of the Project, Daniele Cristian Passalacqua who presented the progresses of the Project during its Inception Phase and shared with important stakeholders the forthcoming activities.

  In addition, the Inception Report Presentation Event included speeches and testimonials from eminent public figures. Herewith, the event was opened by Agim Bërdyna – Secretary General of Ministry of Education and Science (MES), Luigi Brusa – Head of Cooperation of European Union in Kosovo, and Paolo Cervino – LuxDev Resident Representative.

  

  The testimonials of representatives of the private sector, civil society and VET schools enriched the event with enthusiastic speeches showcasing the most evident achievements of the already implemented good practices of LuxDev. These testimonials depicted a sense of commitment and trust towards the Project with many stakeholders expressing their gratefulness and eagerness to work closely with ESVET PRO.

  

  Despite being held online, the level of connectiveness with the audience remained high and this was done using polls during the event. The polls served to keep the event interactive and to collect expressions of interest from the participants on the various components of ESVET PRO.

  Finally, the virtual event was concluded by Stergios Tragoudas- Programme Manager-EU Policies-Education. He praised the commitment of the stakeholders and partners and is looking forward to witnessing the opportunities this Project will provide not only at an institutional level but also to individual VET students.

  Altogether, the presentation of the Inception Report resulted in a dynamic event that registered enthusiasm and positive feedback from the participants. The event gave a feeling of hope and optimism to all its participants and demonstrated the many opportunities which can be grasped in the VET sector.

  CABO VERDE – Un nouveau centre d’emploi et de formation professionnelle à Tarrafal sur l’ile de Santiago

  La population de Tarrafal de Santiago compte actuellement 18 170 habitants dont 54,4% de femmes et le taux de chômage y est de 9,5%. La population est majoritairement jeune avec un taux d’alphabétisation élevé de l’ordre de 98,8%. Cependant, le taux de fréquentation de l’enseignement secondaire n’est que de 43,7%. (Données INE janvier 2020)

  Par conséquent, Tarrafal constitue une cible idéale pour bénéficier de formations professionnelles et ainsi consolider les capacités de sa population et créer de nouveaux emplois. 

  C’est dans cette optique qu’a été inauguré, le 2 décembre 2020, le nouveau centre d’emploi et de formation professionnelle de Tarrafal en présence du ministre des Finances, Olavo Correia et du nouveau chargé d’affaires de l’Ambassade de Luxembourg au Cabo Verde, Thomas de Barbancey.

  

  Ce projet est le fruit d'un partenariat entre le Fonds du Tourisme, la Mairie de Tarrafal et la Coopération luxembourgeoise qui, à travers son Programme emploi employabilité, CVE/081, a investi 52 000 EUR pour financer une partie de la rénovation du bâtiment, le parc informatique et le mobilier des salles de formation et du secteur administratif. 

  Le nouveau centre d’emploi et de formation professionnelle de Tarrafal concentrera son offre de formation sur les thématiques suivantes :

  • hôtellerie, restauration et tourisme
  • technologies de l’information et de la communication
  • installation et manutention d’équipement de réfrigération
  • pêche et sports nautiques
  • transformation et conservation des produits de la mer
  • culture et artisanat
  • construction civile.

  En juin dernier déjà, deux actions de formation ont démarré avec succès au centre d’emploi et de formation professionnelle de Tarrafal. L’une portait sur sur la méthodologie GERME (gerez Mieux votre Entreprise) et l’autre sur la méthodologie PIN (planifier un concept d’entreprise). Par la suite, quatre cours ont démarré en coiffure, esthétique et beauté ainsi qu’en cuisine et une formation en soins aux personnes en situation vulnérables est actuellement en cours.

  Les objectifs du Programme CVE/081, qui cible en particulier les jeune et les femmes, sont de: 

  • contribuer à l'insertion professionnelle de la population du Cabo Verde ; et 
  • renforcer l'employabilité des bénéficiaires de la formation professionnelle.

  Le programme CVE/081 est financé par le Grand-Duché de Luxembourg et mis en œuvre par LuxDev, l’agence luxembourgeoise pour la Coopération au développement.

  MALI - Partage d'un expérience inspirante dans le monde de la formation professionnelle

  Le Conseil régional de Ségou, avec l’appui de ses partenaires techniques et financiers, a organisé, à la fin de l’année 2019, un salon de l’emploi des jeunes dans le secteur agrosylvopastoral. 1er salon du genre organisé dans la région, il a rassemblé une vingtaine d’exposants, des acteurs publics et privés de la formation professionnelle et de l’emploi, des entreprises et des centaines de jeunes. Un intervenant, Boubacar Doumbia, a particulièrement attiré l’attention des organisateurs et des acteurs publics de la formation professionnelle et notamment celle du Conseil régional de Ségou et les centres de formation publics de la région. Boubacar Doumbia est le promoteur du centre de formation professionnelle N’domo, résolument tournée vers l’entreprenariat et l’auto-emploi et spécialisée dans la confection de Bogolan, ces fameux tissus Malien teinté suivant un style et une technique  particulière. L’originalité de son centre est son modèle de gestion inspiré de la tradition et décrite dans un manuel dont il est l’auteur : « Le concept N’domo. Une réponse à l’entreprenariat solidaire et à l’emploi des jeunes ».

  Ce manuel, qui est « la capitalisation de vingt années d’expériences d’entreprenariat social et solidaire sur l’utilisation du savoir-faire local et des valeurs sociétales innovées » et se veut une solution au défi de l’emploi des jeunes, a servi de support à l’atelier organisé en septembre 2020 par le Conseil régional de Ségou à l’attention de 35 responsables et gestionnaires de centres et instituts de formation professionnelle publics et privés de la région et d’agents du Ministère de l’Emploi et de la Formation professionnelle. Le but était de présenter aux participants un centre de formation fonctionnel, le N’domo, disposant d’outils de gestion adaptés et arrivant à fonctionner sans moyens mis à disposition par l’État, les Collectivités ou les partenaires techniques et financiers.

  Le promoteur du centre N’domo a ainsi présenté son expérience basée sur une gestion innovante par la mise en place d’un dispositif de formation et d’auto-emploi bien structuré, soutenu par une gestion rigoureuse sur les plans administratif, technique et financier. L’innovation s’articule autour de deux axes :

  L’utilisation d’un savoir-faire local comme un levier permettant de créer des emplois durables pour les jeunes. 
  Le savoir-faire choisi est l’exploitation des techniques traditionnelles des teintures naturelles sur des supports 100% coton produits au Mali. La transformation du coton sur le plan local crée des emplois pour les filières filage, tissage, teinture, décoration et confection et de la richesse !

  L’adaptation des valeurs sociétales explorées pour l’organisation et le fonctionnement du centre N’domo que l’on caractérise d’entreprise solidaire !

  

  Au cours de l’atelier, les réactions ont été nombreuses et les participants, en prenant la parole, ont presque unanimement qualifié le centre N’domo « d’entreprise-école ». Certains responsables de centres de formation, tant public que privé, ont trouvé l’expérience réplicable dans leur contexte, notamment pour les filières de formation maraichage et transformation agroalimentaire. Le directeur général de l’Institut de Formation professionnelle de Konobougou dira ceci dans son intervention : « nos structures de formation viennent de découvrir une piste précieuse pour optimiser les opportunités qui se présentent à elles pour concrétiser leur désir de former et d’insérer les jeunes ». Plusieurs structures de formation se sont engagées à poursuivre les échanges avec le centre N’domo en vue d’une adaptation de l’expérience à leur centre.

  L’atelier a pris fin par une visite guidée des ateliers de formation, de production et d’exposition/vente des produits du centre N’Domo, ce qui a permis aux participants de voir la matérialisation du concept.  

  Pour l’histoire, « le n’domo est un rite d’initiation des jeunes dans la société traditionnelle bamanan. « Don mᴐ » qui est actuellement prononcé « n’domo ou ntomo » signifie littéralement « la pêche du savoir » ou la quête de la « connaissance ». Autrefois, cette quête de connaissance était la toute première étape d’initiation, d’orientation et de recherche de la plénitude que les jeunes de sept à dix ans devaient avoir jusqu’à l’âge de dix-huit à vingt ans.

  MALI - Des milliers de jeunes certifiés grâce à la formation professionnelle

  De 2017 à 2019, la Conseil régional de Ségou a financé la formation professionnelle de 5540 jeunes dont 4000 auprès de Maitres Artisans, à travers l’apprentissage rénové, et 1540 en formation initiale qualifiante dans des centres de formation publics et privés. Les filières de formation professionnelle suivies ont été essentiellement du domaine agrosylvopastoral (aviculture, embouche, maraichage, pisciculture, production de riz, de fonio ou de sésame,) et de l’artisanat (menuiserie, carrelage, électricité photovoltaïque mécanique, maçonnerie, coupe couture, construction métallique).

  Au terme de leur formation professionnelle, les jeunes apprentis ont subi un examen de fin d’apprentissage, avec des jurys de professionnels issus des chambres consulaires (agriculture et artisanat), sanctionné par un certificat de qualification professionnelle. Le taux de réussite a été très satisfaisant, il a atteint 86%.

  

  Pour les jeunes ayant suivi un cycle de formation initiale qualifiante, 1 460 ont été admis et ont reçu un certificat de compétences professionnelles. C’est tout au long de leur cycle de formation que leurs compétences ont été évaluées et validées sous la supervision pédagogique de la Direction régionale de l’Emploi et de la formation professionnelle de la région de Ségou.

  A l’été 2020, le Conseil régional de Ségou a tenu à organiser, avec le concours des chambres consulaires, parties prenantes et acteurs majeurs du dispositif d’apprentissage rénové, une cérémonie solennelle de remise des certificats aux jeunes lauréats afin de mettre en lumière la formation professionnelle. Cette cérémonie a été rehaussée par la participation de la Directrice Nationale de la Formation professionnelle et du Directeur fénéral de l’Observatoire National de l’Emploi et de la Formation, qui ont félicité les jeunes et les ont encouragés à poursuivre leurs efforts et à se perfectionner afin de faciliter leur insertion professionnelle. Le Président de la chambre consulaire en charge de l’Artisanat a conclu leur disant que « la formation est un investissement que les jeunes sont appelés à rentabiliser par leur dévouement sur le marché du travail ».
