Promotion Of Vocational Education

High Ranking Managers’ Capacity Building
The Lebanese – German Program “Promotion of Vocational Education and Small and Medium Enterprise Development - DSME” strives to improve the Lebanese Technical and Vocational Education System (TVET) by strengthening its practice and market-oriented aspects. It introduced in 1995 to the Lebanese vocational education, the Dual System training; a training which melts traditional school teaching and hands-on direct experience at a company partnering with the school. The success thereof in Germany had turned it into the backbone of the country’s Industry.
There are currently around 30 private and public vocational schools in Lebanon offering the Dual System Training, with around 1800 students registered and receiving their training in more than 800 companies.
The DSME Program supports the partners to successfully fill their roles and responsibilities in TVET. Accordingly, it constantly works on building the capacity of the involved staff, and it thus launched a series of managerial trainings addressed to the directors of the schools that offer the Dual System training.
‘Capacity Building' Coordinator at LDN Rouba Fares participated in the program by conducting a number of workshops where she provided special trainings to several groups of the mentioned Directors of Public TVET Schools and Institutes from all over Lebanon.
The first module entitled “Planning and Conducting Successful Meetings” focused on how to empower participants in order to better receive information and knowledge for planning and carrying out effective meetings. The second module, “Moderation of Discussions”, stressed on the importance of ‘how to receive information and knowledge’ while moderating discussions in a professional way.
The trainings were much appreciated by the participants and were highly evaluated. Their outcome should ensure the sustainability of the program beyond the Lebanese - German cooperation.
