The key to develop a successful TVET reform strategy and the improvement of the quality of TVET system is the realisation of decentralised and demand-driven enterprise training partnership. These partnerships are developed between training providers and the enterprises. The TVET project will initiate in 12 sectors Enterprise Training Partnerships (ETP). The ETPs will identify the needs of industries, develop training programs and initiate the demand driven training within the TVET institutions and companies training centres. The TVET reform with the help of ETPs will but the private sector in the driving sit and strengthen the existing and future workforce. It will also contribute to close the gape between demand and supply of skilled labour to Egyptian industries and modernise TVET system and institutions.

The TVET project will make sure that the private sector and public TVET institutions and training providers jointly with the companies organise through the ETPs demand driven training, upgrade the trainers and master trainers. The ETPs also should assist the companies to get systematic access to school leavers and existing work force in the labour market.                                         

To make sure that needs of the private sector is respected by training suppliers ETP Committees are formed which acts as sectors’ bodies representing the stakeholders. They are closely linked to the structure of the sector’s chambers and of the Federation of Egyptian Industries (FEI), the Federation of Egyptian Builders and Contractor Industries (FEBCI), the Federation of Egyptian Tourism (FET), their perspective chambers and associations and to the Investors Association Union (IAU) as the organisations of the private sector.

Each ETP is planned to have a technical secretariat that is in charge to initiate the local Task Force perceptively distributed to regions and industrial clusters/locations, to ensure the bottom-up and PPP approach at operational level. The PMU of TVET will support and monitor the implementation of the TVET project within the ETP environment.
