1. Summary The BMZ funded TVET and Employment Promotion (TEP) Program that is being implemented in

Palestine by GIZ , in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education and the Palestinian

Ministry of Labor and other key stakeholders have conducted a mapping of the Technical and Vocational

Education and Training (TVET) providers in the West-Bank including Jerusalem. The TEP Program aims at

addressing the training and employment challenges of young people under the tense economic and

social situation in the Palestinian Territories.

The overall objective of the TEP program is “Young People in the West Bank, including East

Jerusalem, and in Gaza, who have participated in an integrated labor market and TVET program, are

employed or self-employed in a skill-related field.” The mapping study targeted providers of short-term

skills upgrade courses, long-term vocational training, vocational secondary education and vocational and

technical college education. It includes general information about TVET providers, their location and

contact information and the training and education services they offer.

The collected information will assist youth in making informed career choices, thus improving

their future employability, job performance and economic opportunities. The data will form a base for

developing online e-career counseling services to inform youth of available educational and training

opportunities in Palestine. In addition, the information will provide decision makers and concerned

parties with a comprehensible understanding of the Palestinian TVET providers, their governance

structure and type of training and education services they currently provide to equip Palestinian youth

with needed skills to become productive members in their society.

This report provides a breakdown of the TVET providers based on the type of training and

education services they provide. It lists the main providers and the specializations they offer. The report

provides preliminary analysis of the TVET providers geographical distribution, sector (governmental,

non-governmental, commercial), offered programs and admission requirements. Based on feedback

from the TVET providers, the report includes recommendations on suitable use of data, effective means

to disseminate the collected information, and methods for keeping the data updated. On the other

hand, it provides recommendations on possible use of the data to make TVET services more relevant to

labor market needs.

2. Mapping Study Objectives: The objective of the mapping study is to compile a comprehensive documentation of TVET

providers in West-Bank and their offers, for use by career guidance and counseling services, to provide

youth with the information needed to make informative career choices.

Methodology: In order to reach targeted audiences and collect information about providers of

vocational and technical college level education, vocational secondary schools, vocational training and



short-term skills upgrade training courses in the West-Bank, an 18 pages interactive online

questionnaires, that only requested information based on the responders answers was developed.

The survey includes information about the institutions contact information, location type,

governance structure, offered specializations and training courses. Future use of the data was taken into

considerations in the design of the questionnaires to facilitate effective search, analysis and reporting.

Predefined categories of vocations and specializations, admission requirements, certifications,

governance structure were utilized to ensure coherency in the collected information

A directory of registered TVET providers was compiled from lists provided by MoL, MoEHE and

Ramallah Chamber of Commerce. Utilizing Mail-merge, personalized invitations with the link to fill the

questionnaires were sent to the targeted institutions. In addition, the TEP program’s partners have

encouraged their institutions to fill the online questionnaires. More than 100 TVET providers have filled

the form directly online, and about 120 were inputted into the database, based on information collected

through research of available documentation, internet, social media postings and direct

communications with the targeted institutions.

Once data collection was finalized, where 242 entries were made, the data went through

validation and modification process to achieve a high percentage of accuracy and completeness. The

data was collected mostly in Arabic and then translated to English to create two data bases.

3.5. Short-Term, Skills Upgrade Courses Providers The mapping study includes 186 institutions who have indicated that they offer short-term training or

education to upgrade participants’ skills and improve their knowledge. Most of the providers of

vocational training courses and some of the Technical/Community Colleges and Vocational Secondary

Schools provide, in addition to their regular programs, short term courses. The type of training provided

coincides with the institution’s area of specialization. 54% of the providers are managed by commercial

establishments. 32.5% of the providers are NGOs, 7% are governmental institutions, and 6.5% are CBOs

and UNRWA.

Figure 12 - Short-Term, Skills Upgrade Courses Providers Sectors

4. Recommendation Data Utilization: The data collected provides a valuable mean for analysis of the TVET sector in Palestine

and a source of information for career counselors, youth, development organization and decision

makers. The information collected needs to be hosted and maintained in centralized database that

could be accessed online in a secure and regular ways through the internet and mobile applications.

Information Dissemination: English and Arabic web and mobile based application needs to be designed

and developed based on the target audience. The Website and mobile app should have user friendly,

easy to navigate and search features that provides an interactive dynamic presentation of the

information. The design should take into consideration the target audience browsing habits and

preferences for design and colors. In addition, the interfaces should be equipped with the ability to

provide printable, predesigned report (pdf formatted) for use by career counselors. In addition to the

online method of disseminating the information, printable materials need to be developed from the

data collected, including institution summary sheets, listing of TVET providers by professions and



vocations. The materials will be used to guide career counselors in helping students to make informative

career choice, and to inform students of available training and educations opportunities.

Maintaining updated Information: It’s imperative that the data is maintained updated to improve its

usefulness. Most of the TVET Providers have indicated that they prefer to use online methods to update

their profiles. A secure web based interface is needed to be developed. The interface should provides

the capability to add new and update TVET providers’ profiles and post new short-term courses. To

ensure data integrity, the web based interface should be able to track and report on, when and by

whom the data was modified. The responsibility for keeping the data updated could be shared by TVET

providers, who will receive a user name and password with the link to their profile in a yearly email

reminder that will be built-in within the system, and the Ministries offices who are responsible for

issuing and renewing the institutions’ licenses every year.

Improving Relevancy of TVET Services by linking with labor market needs: Many institutions have

indicated that they gauge local labor market needs on regular bases through job placement and

internships efforts and interaction with local business. Information collected on the local level could be

consolidated and analyzed on the national level. In addition, job posting from the past years at Jobs.ps

and the employment centers could be collected and analyzed. The results will provide decision makers

and TVET providers with an indication on the type of vocations and skills needed by the labor market. A

matching exercise of the type professions and training offered that were identified by this study and of

the type of needs the labor market’s study identified, could provide a clear indication on what

professions are needed and what courses we have abundant of or shortage in. On the other hand,

information collected about short-term courses through the proposed online posting of offered courses,

should provide information on the training trends and the type of skills youths seek to enter the job

market or improve their economic opportunities and job performance.
