The Budget Speech 2015-2016 announced the mounting of a training scheme with a view to enhance the employability of unemployed graduates by providing them with skills matching the requirements of the industry.
In this context, the Government has set up of Working Group co-chaired by the Ministry of Education & Human Resources, Tertiary Education and Scientific Research and the Joint Economic Council.
The Working Group is responsible for spearheading and overseeing the implementation of the scheme.
Unemployed graduates
Three instruments have been developed for the implementation of GTES which are categorized as follows:
* TIs: MQA-registered training institutions or enterprises delivering MQA approved courses.
Between 3 to 12 months inclusive of placement
The courses will be jointly identified and designed on sectoral and individual basis and should satisfy the criteria of the Tertiary Education Commission and/or Mauritius Qualifications Authority.
The Employer will participate in the process of identifying the training providers, mounting of courses, and selection of graduates for subsequent placement and eventual employment.
The Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) will act as the coordinating agency for the Scheme.
