KOSOVO - A new innovative platform for the provision of Career Orientation, Job Placement and the management of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) schools
One of the most significant components supported by Project KSV/020 is the upgrading of the Career Guidance Information Systems (CGIS) into a more comprehensive instrument serving the Business Model Office of TVET schools in Kosovo. This commitment signifies a continuation and expansion of the support provided by Project KSV/015 for the development of a series of tools and applications that will improve the provision of students’ career orientation, job placement and management services, boosting the TVET sector in the whole country. The list of activities and events planned for this component aims at developing the provision of a international standard career guidance services in Kosovo, which were almost non-existent. The current CGIS, namely Busulla.com, will be upgraded and enriched with additional features that will transform it into a user-friendly tool that will be used by different stakeholders engaged in the education and career guidance sector in Kosovo.
These innovative features will facilitate the updating of Occupational Standards and Curricula, the acquisition of labour market information (which will then be fed into the Education Management Information System (EMIS) of the MEST) and will digitalise some TVET school management practices. The most significant applications of the upgraded platform are: the Industrial Liaison Tool, the Training need analysis (TNA) and Skills and Knowledge Need Assessment (SKNA) web portal interface, the Busulla Mobile application on IOS and Android, the Basic Check Potential Assessment tests and the digitalization of VET Schools monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system. In order to ensure an effective roll-out at a national level, the Project will train master trainers. The next step will be the implementation of a large-scale training programme involving the staff of schools, municipalities, public and private institutions in the use of all the CGIS functionalities.
