UNESCO’s strategy for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) aims at providing assistance to Member States to transform their TVET systems and practices with focused actions in three core areas: (i) provision of upstream policy advice and related capacity development in the field of TVET; (ii) conceptual clarification of skills development and improvement of monitoring; and (iii) acting as a clearinghouse and informing the global TVET debate.

In this context, the UNESCO Almaty Cluster Office is implementing a  project on “Modernizing 180 technical and vocational education and training institutions in Kazakhstan” under Kazakhstan’s “Zhas Maman” project funded by the Kazakh Government. The overall objective of the project is to modernize 180 TVET colleges under the 72 most in demand professions in line with international standards so that they can deliver quality education to young people to prepare them for future.
