ARCHIPELAGO: an African-European TVET initiative

ARCHIPELAGO is an inclusive economic development programme addressing youth and vulnerable groups' employability through increasing their professional skills as well as enhancing employment opportunities. Specifically, ARCHIPELAGO will increase local employment opportunities and employability by developing local training and vocational resources adapted to private sector needs. The principle approach of the suggested action is the implementation of targeted partnership projects between European and African Business Membership Organisations (BMOs) and other business support organisations with the objective to provide labour market relevant Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
