The Organisation
The Vanuatu Skills Partnership aims to develop new approaches for a national skills system that better links skills training to economic outcomes within a quality assured framework. It has a dual focus on supporting the development of ni-Vanuatu entrepreneurship and the growth of the local private sector, as well as creating pathways for further formal training and employment opportunities. Provincial Skills Centres, now incorporated into the structure of the Ministry of Education and Training, have been established by the Partnership to facilitate access to a range of demand-driven skills training and business development support. Through the financing mechanism of the National Skills Development Fund, the Skills Centres contract registered local training providers and industry coaches to deliver a range of integrated skill development services according to identified productive sector and industry priorities. The Partnership proactively promotes and mainstreams the participation of marginalised groups, specifically those disadvantaged by gender and disability. The Partnership operates as a coalition for change within a complex local political environment. It is locally-led and works sensitively, flexibly and responsively ‘within the grain of local custom and culture’ to catalyse development in line with the objectives of the ‘National Sustainable Development Plan 2016-2030’.
