Welcome to PESDO project
The “Promotion of Employment and Socio-economic Development Opportunities through a Better Quality TVET System in Sharkeya” (PESDO) project aims to enhance the effectiveness of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system in Sharkeya Governorate, Egypt. With a budget of €2,500,000 and a duration of 27 months (January 2023 – March 2025), the project is managed through a contribution agreement between Don Bosco Technical Institute and the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS).
The overall objective is to curb migration rates by improving the TVET system’s effectiveness and providing socio-economic advancement opportunities for local youth. The project focuses on building the capacity of local TVET providers to offer market-driven, competency-based vocational education, developing technical skills, enhancing job readiness, and promoting the inclusion of women and people with disabilities. Additionally, it facilitates graduates’ placement in the local labor market through guidance and employment officers, aiming to create sustainable livelihood opportunities and address socio-cultural barriers to vocational training participation.
