🌱Advancing Sustainable TVET Education in Ghana through Partnerships 🌱
Under the UNESCO Green TVET Framework, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions are integrating environmental sustainability into every aspect of their operations – preparing learners with the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes needed for a green economy and sustainable development.
Implementing this framework in Ghana’s TVET education system requires institutional and stakeholder collaboration. That is why we are excited to announce our collaboration with GIZ Ghana, of Education, CTVET and TVET Service to lead in the green transformation at Takoradi Technical Institute — one of three national Green TVET Model Schools selected to pioneer competency-based, sustainability-driven technical education in Ghana.
Through this partnership, we will equip TTI’s management, teachers, learners, and Green Club members with the knowledge, skills, and infrastructure to embed environmental sustainability into every pillar of the UNESCO Green TVET Framework — from Green Curriculum to Green Campus, Green Culture, Green Community, and Green Research.
What are we building together?
✅Hands-on training on waste management, plastic pollution, water & sanitation, and health protection
✅Construction of a functional biodigester by learners and teachers using a learning-by-doing approach
✅15 new waste stations with segregated bins to drive CorpNation Foundation’s 4R+culture: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover
✅A central plastic collection point and composting area for organic waste
✅A school garden and greening initiatives to transform TTI into a living model of sustainability
✅Youth empowerment through Green Club competitions and leadership in sustainability
With 85% of Ghana’s workforce in the informal sector and TVET at the heart of skills transformation, this project is more than infrastructure — it’s about shaping a generation of green leaders, innovators, and job creators for a circular economy.
Here’s to skills for sustainable growth, good jobs, and a greener future! 💚
This is an initiative of the “Pact for Skills: Support to the Transformation of the TVET System in Ghana” project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union, implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in partnership with the Ministry of Education, CTVET, TVET Service.
