Female Internship

GIZ- Internal/External Vacancy Announcement ‘#062/2021’

‘STEP / develoPPP for Jobs (Textile Training and Career Development Project with the Hawassa Industrial Park)’

Brief Description of the project/ unit

• The Ethio-German Sustainable Training and Education Program (STEP) aims at creating better employment perspectives for TVET and higher education graduates by promoting quality and demand-driven education and skills development. Commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development (NORAD) and the European Union, STEP supports the Ethiopian government to build a modern education system geared towards employment and socio-economic growth by establishing strong linkages between education and the private sector.
• The develoPPP for jobs project develops and promotes training programs and offers careers advice services that are closely aligned with skill needs. In this way, the project enhances the management capacities and soft skills of current and potential employees in order to create prospects in the textile and clothing industry in the Hawassa Industrial Park (HIP). Furthermore, through cooperation with the Hawassa Polytechnic College, Hawassa University and other universities, it strengthens local educational institutions in the long term and addresses potential employees (in other words, students and graduates). Practical modules in the vocational education and training, as well as internship programs, provide aspiring managers with valuable insights into practical work. In advisory centers, trainees and students obtain not only guidance, but also skills assessments to aid them in organizing training courses and their further professional career. The project processes success stories and experience gained in such a way that they can also be applied in other industrial parks and regions.
