Skill development is a matter of priority in many countries in the Pacific. There is an articulated need to enhance the quality of Technical and Vocation Education and Training (TVET). @COL4D with its Pacific regional centre, PACFOLD at the University of the South Pacific, has pioneered the development of a Pacific TVET Toolkit meant to address this challenge.
As part of this innovation in educational technology, the online TVET toolkit for the Pacific is improving the efficiency of training materials development by bringing together e-learning modules, case studies, research articles, and templates – with the aim of growing and increasing the skills of TVET practitioners in the Pacific region. There are country coordinators for the TVET toolkit in Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.
Recently, COL, in collaboration with PACFOLD, hosted a regional workshop on the design of micro-credentials aligned to the Pacific TVET Online Toolkit. Full story here: www.col.org/news/regional-workshop-underway-in-pacific-on-design-of-micro-credentials-for-tvet/

Read: @COL4D’s Empowering Women and Girls (EWG) @EWG_23 project is partnering with the Society for the Protection and Rights of Children (SPARC) @SPARCPK and BEDARI @BedariPakistan to provide skills training in a hybrid mode to more than 20,000 women and girls to create sustainable livelihoods.
The project, with funding from Global Affairs Canada (GAC) @GAC_Corporate, is designed to alleviate poverty while promoting gender equality in rural, remote, and disadvantaged communities in the Khushab, Bhakkar, Multan, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, and Islamabad districts over the next three years. Furthermore, 5,000 men and boys will be actively engaged in various training interventions to ensure that they have the potential to promote gender equality in their communities and help contribute to changing discriminatory social norms.
COL initiated the EWG project with GAC in 2023 with the goal of improving the realisation of human rights for women and girls from disadvantaged communities in selected areas of five Commonwealth member states, including Pakistan.
