Thursday 15^th May 2025 – 10:00 to 12:00 BST – online showcase and roundtable

Hosted by DBT Skills Specialist, Jonathan Ledger, this two-hour webinar will serve as a dynamic platform for fostering dialogue and collaboration between the United Kingdom and Ghana on the topic of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) / skills training. Aimed at exploring shared challenges, opportunities, and best practices, the session will bring together officials, key stakeholders and skills providers.

It will focus on using TVET systems to better equip young people and workers with the necessary skills for a future workforce, addressing issues such as employer engagement, industry-education alignment, and employability. This webinar aims to promote sustainable partnerships and innovative solutions that can strengthen TVET frameworks and contribute to economic growth and social development.
