Access for all to good quality education, vocational training and workplace learning is a fundamental principle of social cohesion and economic growth. Some groups of people may require targeted attention if they are to benefit from education, training and employment opportunities.  

This is particularly the case for disadvantaged youth, lower skilled workers, people with disabilities, and people in rural communities. The attractiveness of vocational education and training is enhanced when combined with entrepreneurship training and when public policies encourage utilization of higher skills by business.

This toolkit aims to provide a stimulus and instruments with which to further drive development cooperation in the area of vocational education and training in and for the informal economy. To do this, the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector project has systematically evaluated relevant literature and both current and completed German and international development cooperation projects. The findings of this evaluation have been summarised in the form of short overview articles accompanied by references to further reading. A number of articles have been written by renowned international experts who have worked in this field for many years.
