comments:

• Governmental staff from the MOL, MEHE, MOA and MOSA. • Other semi-governmental staff from the NEO. • Other partners, such as UNICEF, Italian Cooperation, FAO, UNDP, UNHCR, and UNRWA. • Italian and UNICEF NGOs beneficiaries. • Employers from the private sector. • Other participant TVET centres, including the governmental, private sector and NGOs, in addition to national TVET staff.

challenges:

 The gaps in the level of skills and knowledge among training participants (governmental staff vs the Italian and UNICEF NGOs).

success:

 Despite the abovementioned challenge, the facilitator used the different backgrounds of trainees to exchange experience and improve the networks, particularly among the NGOs. Also, this was a good opportunity to understand the roles of each other, resulting in better coordination and communication and decreasing the gap in their response to the various issues in the post-training activities.  The heterogeneity of the group set a challenge for the design of the local market assessment workshop, but at the same time added value in terms of opportunities for knowledge, sharing experiences and networking.

context:

The diversity of the target groups in the training workshops in terms of the level of skills and knowledge added value for the methodology followed. Combining all the stakeholders from different entities in the same training workshop proved effective and ensured a common understanding.

description:

Adopting an interactive and non-traditional approach in training workshops is effective, particularly when linked to the local context of Lebanon and addressing the training needs and gaps identified for the target groups.

administrative_issues:

• The evaluation found that relying on the internal human resources of ILO to facilitate some training workshops was a good approach in terms of cost effectiveness and ensuring that the training objectives were realized properly. • Considering the limited time of project implementation, this approach to providing training proved its impact across the life of the project.
