Partners implementing the EEVT project

Project Profile

The EEVT Project is implemented by the Vocational Education Training Authority (VETA) and international development charity VSO, in partnership with BG Tanzania. The EEVT project (Enhancing Employability through Vocational Training) aims at improving the employability of young people in the regions of Mtwara and Lindi, with a focus on the growing demand for skilled labour in the gas industry and related services. Over 2 years, VETA teachers and their students will be trained by tutors from VSO. On the long run, VETA will be capable of producing a steady stream of qualified craftsmen and teachers.

More than 620 students from VETA Mtwara and more than 224 students from VETA Lindi are benefiting from the project. The number of students benefiting from the project will continue to increase as more students continue to join for both short and long courses while others graduating as from 2014. 4 Teachers from VETA Lindi and 7 VETA Mtwara are also part of beneficiaries in this project through capacity building (training by City and Guilds) and also one-on one coaching from VSO technical advisors.

The EEVT project is governed by the signed memorandum of understanding (MOU) which among other things stipulates the role of each partner to the project. GIZ, VETA, VSO Tanzania and Tanzania LNG have signed the MOU which provides the framework of all operations and project activities
in a model of partnership approach. On 10th October 2013, the three partners have also signed another MOU for EEVT VETA Lindi extension in the presence of Hon. First Lady Mama Salma Kikwete who was the Guest of Honour during inauguration of the project in Lindi. Prior the Lindi inauguration, the same project was also inaugurated in November 2012 by Hon. Dr. Mohamed Gharib
Bilal at VETA Mtwara. The project steering committee, with membership representation from GIZ, VETA, Tanzania LNG and VSO Tanzania, is the top overseer and decisive body of the project.

Since 2014, the project has scaled up in terms of support and recognition where more extractive companies have joined their forces to support the project. Currently, the project is supported by GIZ and Tanzania LNG Plant Project - a joint venture combined of 5 major O&G companies (BG Group, Ophir, Pavilion Energy, ExxonMobil and Statoil). The first phase of the project ended in December 2015 (2012-2015) and the second was extended for the next 2 years from January 2016 to December 2017.

Among the notable and key components covered in phase includes industry Links program, Capacity of Centers, Quality of Training, International Accreditation and Career Matching. These five components form the basis of EEVT phase two project where a block system approach will be introduced and placing industry links at the core of the project. In addition, phase two has added three new trades based on the experience of phase one; scaffolding, plant operator and industrial painting of which the training is expected to be provided in short course basis.
