Colleges and Institutes Canada

Published purpose

This project aims at implementing the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) model and mechanism that effectively responds to the needs of the Andean country Colombia. The organization works closely with national and regional governments, employers, unions and other agencies and associations related to employment, and with colleges and other pertinent educational institutions to: (1) reform and modernize the approach and delivery of TVET in Colombia by introducing a more decentralized and entrepreneurial approach to college management; (2) drive a dynamic and relevant change process in TVET management, curricula design and teaching practices; and (3) establish a collaborative regional network of institutional partners which would extend to other Latin American countries for further replicability and sustainability.
