A partnership to promote vocational training and improve youth employability prospects in the construction sector has been launched.

The initiative follows Tatu City’s strategic partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) to boost skills through the Build4Skills and Promotion of Youth Employment and Vocational Training programmes.

Build4Skills is a flagship initiative commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and implemented by GIZ. It integrates practical vocational training into infrastructure projects. Inspired by Germany’s dual training model, Build4Skills bridges the gap between classroom learning and industry demands by equipping young people with hands-on experience in real-world settings, ensuring they are job-ready upon graduation.

“The Build4Skills programme exists to bridge the gap between training and employment by embedding real-world learning into the construction sector,” said Rehan Dubow, the Vocational Training and Labour Market Advisor for the Build4Skills programme.
