CONTEXT

IECD (Institut Européen de Coopération et de Développement) is a French non-governmental organization founded in 1988 and operating in the field of social and economic development in partnership with local institutions. IECD’s main sectors of action are vocational training and professional integration, assistance to micro and small enterprises and access to education and health for the most vulnerable. In Lebanon, IECD has been operating in the country since 1994 and opened a regional office in Beirut in 2007. (www.iecd.org). Semeurs d’Avenir is a Lebanese association, created in 2010, registered under the number 1905. It is the operational partner of IECD in vocational and professional training. (www.sda-lb.org). Together, IECD and Semeurs d’Avenir develop qualifying trainings in sectors with considerable employment potential and support their educational partners to improve their pedagogical offer and to reinforce themselves on the institutional level.

Based on the success of this methodology, IECD and Semeurs d’Avenir have reproduced this experience in the field of maintenance and programming, and now aim to extend their project to the renovation of the Higher Technical Level (TS) in electrotechnics.
