Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

Gesellschaft fuer Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations.

The SED-TVET Programme (Sustainable Economic Development through Technical and Vocational Education and Training) is a joint effort of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (implemented by GIZ), the Ministry of Education and Culture, the Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration, the Ministry of Industry and Bappenas. It aims at improving the employability of manpower in selected regions of Indonesia (i.e. West Java, Central Java, DI Yogyakarta, East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi).

 

Activities touch on a wide range of issues, such as gaps in the current regulatory framework, better use of labour market information and School to Work Transition services, TVET management, teaching & learning processes and the cooperation between the education / training system and the business sector in selected secondary and post-secondary TVET institutes. SED-TVET works in close cooperation with the responsible ministries and relevant institutions to foster long-term implementation of successful activities beyond the piloting TVET institutes on a nation-wide scale.

 

The School to Work Transition component of SED-TVET is tasked to support the improvement of the collection and utilization of local labor market information for training quality and provision of career counseling/vocational guidance services in SMK. The School to Work Transition Component is currently preparing the scaling up of piloted approaches, such as career guidance teaching materials and other products, to further SMK. A final review of the products to include feedback gathered from pilot activities is planned for the upcoming months. Moreover, guidelines for effective career guidance and labour market information gathering and utilization will be designed to ensure a smooth scale up and combine the findings of our work during the past years.
