The Ethiopian government has set itself the goal of achieving middle-income country status by 2025. The massive expansion of the education sector should provide the national economy with employable graduates and at the same time give the rapidly growing young population a perspective. The goal of the “Sustainable Training and Education Program” (STEP) project is therefore to increase the employability of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) graduates, jobseekers and self-employed, especially of females. The project advises the Ministry of Education, its subordinate authorities and private sector at federal and regional level aiming at improving mechanisms to steer and implement a demand-driven TVET system, increasing capacities of TVET personnel to lead and implement demand-driven TVET, expanding employment-oriented training offers for different target groups and encouraging business sector to play more active role in TVET and employment promotion. It is a large-scale, complex project in a dynamic and changing environment.
