Video. The short road to self-employment in Somalia

Video. The short road to self-employment in Somalia | Vocational education and training - VET | Scoop.it
In Somalia, decades of conflict and natural calamities have frustrated the normal coping strategies of its otherwise resilient population. To mitigate the impact of recurrent shocks to Somali livelihoods, the ICRC helps vulnerable groups start small businesses by offering vocational training to improve their skills, and then providing them with the capital investment or tools they need to start the business. This video shows examples of such programmes – training of young men as mechanics, carpenters and electricians and women as tailors.

Accelerating the Adoption of mLearning: A Call for Collective and Collaborative Action

Canadian Vocational Association / Association canadienne de la formation professionnelle's insight:

Business leaders often complain they don’t have an adequately skilled workforce. But we need a new education model – one that reaches the hard to reach, in spite of growing teacher shortages and cutbacks in education spending.
mLearning represents potential. Nearly six billion people own cell phones. Should the ICT and telecom sector works with the mLearning community to accelerate its adoption and help scale up projects, one of our most pressing global issues can be addressed.
It has the potential to accelerate access to vocational training along with informal and formal education. It represents an opportunity for people to take an active role in their own future. It can help create a more practical and current set of learning tools to match the rapidly changing skills required in today’s workforce.
