Title: Senior National VET Expert
Services Designation: Senior National VET Expert for Project KSV/021 “Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo
Location: Pristina, Kosovo
Starting date: 02.09.2024
Duration: 24 months

Background

The main objective of Luxembourg’s general cooperation strategy “Towards 2030” is to contribute to the reduction and eradication of extreme poverty through support to sustainable economic, social and environmental development. It is structured around four interconnected priority themes:

improving access to quality basic social services;
strengthening the socio-economic integration of women and youth;
promoting sustainable and inclusive growth; and
promoting inclusive governance.

In December 2022, LuxDev was mandated by the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs, to prepare the formulation of project KSV/021 – Skills for sustainable jobs in Kosovo.

The project should contribute to the economic growth of Kosovo through the modernisation and the support of the VET sector and its reforms.

The project will focus on:

strengthening of initial and continuous vocational education and training systems in the relevant sectors which offer more job opportunities in the energy and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sectors;
integration and economic insertion of young men and women in the relevant sectors through the provision of qualified workforce, in line with the needs of the private sector;
setting up a professional retraining module for job seekers according to current and future market needs.

Luxembourg’s envisaged assistance will examine, support, and influence the so-called formal side of TVET while taking into consideration the changing contextual environment characterised by digital transformation and business process automation. These changes will certainly require skilling, reskilling and upskilling.

This support would have an impact on the entire VET system, with the Ministry of Education (MESTI) and the municipalities being the direct counterpart. Beneficiaries would be the Centre of competences (CoC), in particular the ICT CoC supported by Luxembourg, VET schools, the private sector of Kosovo and the population of Kosovo in general.

OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Senior VET expert is to provide support to the achievement of the Result 1 (cooperation between the private sector and VET schools is strengthened by incentivising private sector involvement) working in close cooperation with the project manager.

The Senior VET expert will carry out additional activities under Results 2 (two VET centres (one on ICT and the other on RE/EE) are operationalised) and 4 (lifelong learning (LLL) is supported to develop/strengthen skills and knowledge, especially of women, in RE/EE and ICT).
