IORS | Skills & TVET

Can the centre open on the date, safely, with the intended impact?

Readiness of training institutions, competence centres and skills programmes, grounded in real centre-of-competence openings in international cooperation.

The library covers programme portfolios and learner readiness, dual delivery models and work-based learning capacity, assessment and quality assurance systems, workshop safety, equipment commissioning, learner protection and the financing of the first years of operation. The check separates what can open on the date from what opens in a second phase, and it names the owners and deadlines for both.

Who asks, and what

Ministry or agency

Which of the centres in our programme can open on the date, and what must happen for the others?

Development partner

What has the investment produced in operating capability, and what remains at risk before hand-over?

Training provider

Are we ready to run the new programmes safely, with the trainers, equipment and partners in place?

Public-private partnership

Are the company commitments, work-based learning places and supervisors real and contracted?
