The idea is to further promote the practice-orientation of VTE, while at the same time encouraging the introduction of a strategic shift towards practice-orientation (work-based learning) in the mainstream VTE system. The project is structured in four components: (i) consolidate quality of the VET practice oriented initiatives; (ii) improvement of the information base for practice-oriented learning; (iii) promotion of practice-orientation in main streams of VTE in Lebanon and iv) improving planning and coordination in the VET sub-sector. The main project approach is participatory and based on capacity development which aims to empower key stakeholders in VTE to better understand the obstacles inhibiting the realization of their developmental goals while enhancing their abilities that will allow them to achieve measureable and sustainable results. The overall objective of the Practice-oriented VTE project is to improve the quality, relevance and responsiveness of the public Lebanese VTE system to the needs of the labour market. Its purpose is to promote and strengthen planning, coordination and implementation for a more practice-oriented VTE in Lebanon.
