Workplace-based Learning and youth employment in Africa
Workplace-based learning is a supply-side intervention for addressing youth employment, which offers limited potential to bridge the supply of and demand for skills in Africa.
In the formal sector, stronger linkages between those who supply workplace-based learning, (mainly providers of technical and vocational education and training), and potential employers must be fostered. In the informal sector, traditional or informal apprenticeships must be upgraded through the provision of training for master craftpersons, contracts for apprentices and certification of skills.
