Innovative and Promising Practices in TVET

UNESCO-UNEVOC acts as a clearinghouse for innovative and promising practices in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET). Each practice shows how TVET can be designed and delivered to address contextual challenges, presents the enabling conditions for success and provides a snapshot of the positive impact on communities.

Makerspace training centre project






A makerspace is more than its name suggests. At the facility managed by Gearbox and operated by Machine Africa Network of Industries in Kenya, a large manufacturing makerspace is indeed used to make things, but that only scratches the surface of its function: shared prototyping facilities; training in manufacturing, fabrication and design; mentorship; investment opportunities and community development are all part of the Kenyan project that seeks to create 5 million jobs in Kenya by 2023 under the Mastercard Foundation Young Africa Works Project.
