- For individuals – Promote the employability of all residents of working age and improve their competencies and qualifications.53 The TVET system will positively contribute to the empowerment of individuals in their future careers as they contribute to Lebanese society in general. An inclusive TVET system will provide equal opportunities for all, welcoming marginalized populations, women, youth, minorities and PWDs.
- For businesses – Ensure the availability of a competent workforce for the development of businesses in Lebanon. The quality of TVET provision will act as an incentive for foreign investment.
- For the country – Contribute to inclusive and sustainable development, leaving no one behind. The TVET system will promote the principles of good citizenship, democracy and human rights, serving as a place for constructive dialogue between individuals and communities, and fostering social cohesion.
Mission: To implement this vision, the TVET system in Lebanon will be tripartite-led, fit for purpose and inclusive. It will provide competencies and life skills to meet the skills demand in the labour market, forming part of a larger education system with multiple pathways to encourage lifelong learning.
