Introduction to Vocational Skills Development
Vocational skills development (VSD) is a cornerstone of Swiss development cooperation and a key component of the SDC’s Education Strategy. VSD builds on the foundations of basic education to equip individuals with technical, social, and personal competencies necessary for long-term integration into formal and informal economies. SDC's comprehensive approach emphasises inclusivity, quality, and alignment with labour market demands. By incorporating green skills and adhering to the «Leave No One Behind» (LNOB) principle, SDC is prioritising equitable access to vocational training, fostering sustainable development and enhancing social and economic resilience.
