The Validation Workshop for “Swiss Portfolio in Skills Development & Employment“ was organized on 19-20th January.

The “Skills for Jobs” (S4J) project, a Swiss Agency for Development & Cooperation (SDC) project implemented by Swisscontact, and the Skills Development for Employment (SD4E) project implemented by UNDP and funded by SDC, have developed their respective conceptual frameworks for the projects’ third phases. Both projects conducted technical consultations and validation of their logical frameworks with relevant stakeholders from SDC, Ministry of Finance and Economy, National Agencies at the central level, public and private VET providers, private sector and organized businesses, experts, and academia. The design of the new phases of the projects was inspired by and grounded in the National Employment and Skills Strategy 2030 and the Swiss Cooperation Programme Albania. The consolidation phase of “Skills for Jobs” project is designed to guarantee the transferability and sustainability of the key innovation processes.

We want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our stakeholders for their active participation and contribution to the success of these projects.
