What is this project

The project aims to support and strengthen HEIs assessment practices in order to enable a better anticipation and management of the transformative change concerning skill requirements the labour market is undergoing. It does so through working on the adjustment of their curricula to those actual needs of the labour market. This project aims at building the capacity of HEI to assess their programs in terms of soft-skill supply, the ultimate objective being to improve the relevance and impact of HEI on its students’ employability.
