The goal is to align VET provision with the demands of the digital age and enhance the employability of graduates in the labor market.
Welcome to the DISCOVER project
The digitalisation of the VET sector is a key priority. In Tunisia, a skills mismatch is evident with young graduates lacking digital skills to respond to the labour markets’ demands. About 35% of companies face the challenge of having uneducated workforce, with half of the jobs requiring adequate digital literacy. Yet, half of the VET trainers do not exploit ICT for teaching for innovative methods to cultivate learners’ skills and fulfil their potential. To bridge the gap and ensure a demand-oriented VET provision, the ETF recommendations for Tunisia, in the framework of the Torino process, recommend modernisation through improvement of continuing professional development (CPD) for VET teachers and trainers. As a response, the DISCOVER project aims to build the capacity of Tunisian VET centres to develop and implement a strategy for digital learning through a multistakeholder approach. The project will promote transfer of knowledge and peer learning among partners from Cyprus, Greece and Tunisia.
