The “Improving the Quality and Attractiveness of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in Lebanon” initiative, known as QuA-VET, is a collaborative project funded by the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). This initiative is implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, with the technical support of GOPA Consultants GmBH and in partnership with the Lebanese General Directorate of Vocational and Technical Education (DGVTE) under the Ministry of Education.
QuA-VET aims to elevate vocational education in Lebanon by introducing innovative measures to enhance its quality and relevance. A cornerstone of this initiative is the establishment of a voluntary Quality Seal for TVET institutions and companies engaged in cooperative training.
The Quality Seal serves as a hallmark of excellence, acknowledging organizations that uphold high standards in education and training. Valid for a period of two years from the date of issuance, it incentivizes institutions to pursue continuous improvement while fostering stronger synergies between the educational and industrial sectors. By aligning training programs with the evolving demands of the labor market, the initiative ensures that TVET graduates are better equipped to thrive in their careers.
The Association of Lebanese Industrialists (ALI), as the main national entity representing manufacturing companies in Lebanon, plays a crucial role in the QuA-VET initiative. It has been entrusted with evaluating compliance with the strict quality standards required for the Quality Seal. In its capacity as an independent body, ALI assesses applicants and awards the seal to institutions that meet these high standards, thereby strengthening the connection between education and industry.
Through this initiative, QuA-VET is setting a new benchmark for vocational education in Lebanon, making it more attractive to students, beneficial to employers, and vital to the nation’s economic growth.
