The Edo State Board for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (EdoBTVET) concluded a high-level post-conference review meeting with the GIZ-SKYE Programme at the Board's headquarters in Benin City. Chaired by the Executive Chairman of EdoBTVET, Mrs. Onomen Briggs, and attended by the GIZ-SKYE State Manager, Helen Igboka, the bilateral session evaluated ongoing institutional collaborations. Both organizations established renewed commitments to scale up the implementation of the Technical Talent Development Policy and the Edo State Integrated Employment Strategy across the state’s vocational ecosystems.
The administrative alliance directly addresses youth underemployment by aligning sub-national vocational curricula with global industry standards. Through this sustained partnership, the state has successfully embedded Competency-Based Training (CBT) models and installed advanced training equipment at the Benin Technical College. By integrating private-sector players into technical education planning, the board ensures that vocational training remains responsive to evolving labor market demands, expanding entrepreneurship opportunities and driving local economic growth.
This multi-lateral technical cooperation underscores the state executive's focus on human capital development and institutional capacity building. By leveraging international development expertise to upgrade sub-national educational infrastructure, the administration optimizes public resources while modernizing technical learning. This collaborative framework enhances youth employability, reduces economic dependency, and establishes an industry-driven, sustainable blueprint for technical education administration across Edo State.
