Vocationalization of Secondary Education: The Open Schooling PerspectiveCEMCA

Developing a Graduate Attribute Framework in Higher Education - Focus Group R...Embedding Employability
Graduate Attributes are the core abilities and values a higher education institute community agrees all its graduates should develop. They are the abilities employers deem necessary for today’s knowledge workers and graduate success (HEA UK, 2013). The National Framework for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education identifies ‘Student Success’ as:
‘Student success optimises the learning and development opportunities for each student to recognise and fulfil their potential to contribute to, and flourish in, society.
To be achieved, this requires a culture in Irish higher education that values inclusivity, equity and meaningful engagement between students, staff, their institutions, and the wider community…’ (Farrell & McEvoy, 2019)
The Graduate Attribute agenda is key to fulfilling this promise to its students by Dundalk Institute of Technology, and this report outlines the results of our research with the goal of establishing our own graduate attribute framework. First, we review the development of the policy context driving graduate attribute development nationwide, and then turn to a discussion of relevant graduate attribute theories to ground our research. Finally, we present the main results.

However, one major problem remains is the employment generation to validate the skills development activities. Another point of this article is to propose more use of engineers (i.e., engineering human resources of the country) for skills development and also some enhance role of IEB in this area.
A Russian journal “Vocational education” has recently published an article by Petri Lempinen, an ETF expert and country manager for the Russian Federation.
Mr Lempinen writes about skills competition and Russia joining them.
Skills competitions can be used as a tool to develop vocational education and training, if competitions are connected to everyday teaching and other activities of VET colleges. This will take years to achieve as example from Finland has showed, but in the end efforts will be rewarded.
Russian Federation has joined the World Skills International, a non profit organisation to promote worldwide awareness of the contribution that skills and high standards of competence make to the achievement of economic success and individual fulfilment. Membership in WSI makes Russians a family member of “Olympic Games of the vocational training“. It is also an excellent piece of news to all friends of skills competitions.

Overall, autonomous driving is now dominated by automakers, and they will not completely open their underlying data on vehicles to HD map providers. Thus, many auto makers (like Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW), obtain HD map data sources by acquiring digital map providers. In contrast, due to a lack of experience in fault tolerance and underlying data of vehicles, Internet companies end up cooperating with automakers.
Inty Raymi Ingapirca
El Inti Raymi es y significa “Festividad sagrada del Sol”. Su origen histórico se remonta a los inicios del imperio de los incas en el Cusco, aunque también tuvo especial relevancia en el norte andino del actual Ecuador. Desde sus orígenes el fundamento básico de esta festividad -la más importante en el calendario festivo de los pueblos indígenas de los Andes- es el culto al Sol. Es el tiempo de agradecerle por su luz, de dar gracias por las cosechas y exaltar la fecundidad de la tierra (la “Pacha Mama”) en lengua kichwa. Fue y sigue siendo una festividad de alta connotación espiritual también. Para los españoles, el Inti Raymi se tradujo como “Pascua solemne del Sol

The path to effectively scaling skill development programmes.pdfsearchngo1
About 12 million new workers are added to India's workforce annually, of which just 3.1 million are skilled or qualified. The Indian government launched the Skill India Mission with the goal of training 550 million individuals by 2020 in order to address this skills gap. The Mission along with NGO Skill development has focused a great deal of attention on the problem of livelihoods and skill development since its debut on July 15 of this year, and it has received a lot of support from businesses and other important actors in the industry. By 2020, the "demographic dividend" is expected to reach its peak in the nation. Therefore, India has to take advantage of this opportunity by fully utilising this resource and implementing scalable and reproducible techniques.
This project aims to create an avenue of supplemental learning for TVET students and equip them with green skills through hybrid learning approach, ensuring future sustainable industrial practices.
The ILO and Youth Employment The ILO Youth Employment Programme (YEP) was established in 2005 to address the global development goal and national challenges of providing young people with decent work opportunities. Through an integrated approach, it provides a wide array of services, including research, promotional activities, policy advice and technical assistance to support ILO constituents (governments, employers and workers organizations). The Programme operates through a global network of specialists at headquarters in Geneva and in more than 60 offices around the world. The ILO strategy in support of country action on youth employment combines technical assistance to strengthen the policymaking process, while supporting institutional reforms, with direct interventions and pilot projects to demonstrate the effectiveness of youth employment programmes. This illustrates that the ILO approach to youth employment does not rely on stand-alone, fragmented or dispersed interventions. Rather, it is based on the development of gender-sensitive interventions that involve a wide array of partners, including several ministries, the social partners and other organizations that represent the interests of young people. These interventions are based on the: i) review of effectiveness of policies, programme and institutions, application of lessons from evaluation and best practice, and identification of key challenges to be addressed through policy options stemming from evidence collected with national school-to-work transition surveys; ii) development of gender-sensitive policies that are embedded in larger national development frameworks; iii) implementation of priority measures through the development of plans which turn commitment to action and are supported by national budgets; and iv) monitoring and rigorous evaluation of interventions. Figure 1: Youth employment intervention model The comparative advantage of ILO’s work on youth employment lies in its proven ability to deliver quality, real-world results, influence policy change and reach various beneficiary groups. The Programme currently manages 55 youth employment projects around the world, and has achieved positive impact through advisory services, advocacy and knowledge sharing. Most recently, the ILO assisted several countries in developing National Action Plans on youth employment, which have proven to be a valuable instrument for the implementation of coherent youth employment policies and strategies through a participatory process that involves several actors in the planning and delivery of action on youth employment (see Box below).
During the reporting period, The Foundation supported VCCI to deliver 18 business Disaster Risk Management (DRM) courses to more than 520 people from 370 businesses in seven provinces in the Central region: Nghe An, Hue, Da Nang, Quang Nam, Quang Tri, Binh Dinh and Khanh Hoa. The Foundation also worked closely with VCCI and CED to support ten companies to finalize their DRM plans. To measure the impact of the DRM training program in the last quarter of 2012, the Foundation sponsored an independent evaluation of training carried out under the program since 2011. The evaluation provided evidence of businesses interest in the training, implementation of training content in business practice and case study examples of where those DRM measures had been tested by disaster and found to reduce disaster risk. The program has established an effective course, a cadre of trainers, and with its increasing profile has made an important contribution to improved awareness and action on DRM among local businesses in the central region.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. Preface
In 2000 at the Millennium Summit, the international
community committed itself to work together to reduce
poverty, secure peace, make globalisation equitable and
protect the environment. One central approach to
achieving these goals is to boost the effectiveness of
organisations operating in the private and public sec-
tors and within civil society. The International Leader-
ship Training (ILT) will enable young professionals
and junior executives to enhance the managerial and
technical competencies they need to improve the per-
formance of their organisations.
In the context of a globalised and demographically
changing world, effective and sustained social protec-
tion systems are becoming increasingly relevant. Global
change and economic growth increase opportunities,
not least for the poor. However, they often also cause
greater inequality within societies and between
different countries. Despite economic progress, there is
a considerable backlog on demand in many partner
countries with regard to the development of social pro-
tection systems, in South-East Asia as much as in other
regions. The advancement of social protection and
social protection systems makes a fundamental contri-
bution to achieving the overall objective of reducing
poverty. Moreover, it has become evident that social
protection is an important source for economic growth
too, since healthy citizens amplify the overall produc-
tivity of a country. With the International Leadership
Training “Social Security” for technical and manage-
ment staff in companies and institutions from Cam
bodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, GIZ is
actively contributing to the German government’s
Programme of Action 2015, which has defined the
strengthening of social protection systems and guaran-
teeing basic social services as a focal point in its fight
against poverty.
GIZ – on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for
Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) –
has implemented the International Leadership Train-
ing in Social Security since 2007, aiming at increasing
the capacity of young professionals to contribute to in-
stitutional change focusing on financially sustainable
and effective social protection systems in participating
Southeast Asian countries. Since the start of the pro-
gramme in 2007, more than 70 young professionals
successfully completed the programme and have –
through their attained knowledge and gained experi-
ences – contributed actively to the development of
their national social protection institutions.
In October 2014 GIZ will run the Programme Inter
national Social Protection Studies (ISPS) as a new for-
mat of the ILT Social Security. This training is marking a
new era in the history of the Programme. It is the formu-
lated objective of GIZ to sustainably establish in coop-
eration with our partners a Master’s Programme in the
field of Social Protection within the next phase of the
ILT Programme. This is without any doubt, an ambitious
goal which we have set, nevertheless we are confident
that we can reach it and we are certain that a local Asian
Master’s Programme in Social Protection will in future
become a key pillar for the education of young profes-
sionals and future leaders in order to improve the social
protection systems of their home countries.
Since we expect the planning and accreditation of a
Master’s Programme to be a longer process, the Pro-
gramme International Social Protection Studies will,
despite some changes, still resemble the previous
batches. However it already involves elements of a
future Master’s course and some of the modules are
already accredited, so that participants can earn credit
points for their successful completion. The most obvi-
ous changes will be a shortened stay in Germany which
will be complemented by a second phase of attendance
at an Asian University. It is furthermore planned to in-
corporate e-learning modules and to broaden the range
of institutions for internships by involving neighbour-
ing European but also other Asian countries. GIZ is
currently negotiating a new agreement with a German
implementation partner. Depending on the final selec-
tion, the below schedule will be specified. We’re confi-
dent that we will be able to communicate an updated
schedule by mid of July 2014.
We are looking forward to continuing or successful
and longstanding cooperation and active exchange with
our partners in Southeast Asia in order to continuously
improve the effectiveness, quality and coverage of the
national social protection systems. Against this back-
ground we are happy to announce the admission of
Laos to the group of partner countries in Southeast
Asia for the next phase of the programme.

4. The International LeadershipTraining (ILT) programme
of the Human Capacity Development department for
Asia provides training and qualifications for technical
and management staff from companies and institutions
in developing countries and countries undergoing trans-
formation, so that they can initiate and manage pro-
cesses of change within their own countries.
During their advanced training in Germany and Asia
participants spend about one year consolidating their
technical know-how, along with their management skills
and their capacity to implement tailor-made reform
initiatives. To this end, they enter into dialogues with
professional institutions and companies.
GIZ has extensive experience in International Leader-
ship Training in more than 20 sectors and with pro-
grammes designed for specific countries. Our partner
organisations abroad identify suitable applicants for
ILT and work out an agreement with the participants
on a small change project to be undertaken once they
have returned from training (transfer project). GIZ
offers consultancy services during the phase of imple-
mentation of these projects. In this regard, the bilateral
GIZ programmes on the ground offer new synergies
for more effective technical backstopping.
Most of the participants selected by GIZ already have
an academic education and at least three years of pro-
fessional experience. They consolidate their knowledge,
skills and competences during the training. One very
specific ILT pillar is the practical training phase within
a company, institution or organisation. This is where
programme participants can apply what they have
learned and develop professional contacts.
GIZ values the promotion of interdisciplinary and
intercultural exchanges between ILT participants. In the
course of their training, ILT participants are also intro-
duced to the use of GIZ’s Global Campus 21® advanced
Internet training platform. Once they have gained their
ILT qualification, the participants shall remain in
touch with each other through GIZ’s global network of
former participants, which oper-ates through Global
Campus 21® and within groups of former participants
set up abroad.
With its International Leadership Training programme,
GIZ contributes to global “capacity building”, by
supporting the development of selected individuals.

5. The aim of development cooperation in the field of
social protection is to create greater protection for
sections of the population that are poor or at risk of
poverty. Development cooperation supports measures
that reduce fundamental social risks and ensure scope
for action by private initiatives creating an appropriate
framework. In its support of social protection and the
development of social security systems, GIZ primarily
focuses on strengthening local institutions and training
of local experts working in Social and Labour Ministries,
public and private insurance companies as well as other
institutions and associations active in the field of social
protection.
The International Social Protection Studies programme
addresses the training needs of technical personnel and
young leaders who are charged with the development
and administration of social protection systems in
Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and
Laos. Although social protection coverage has increased
over the last decade in the region, there still remain con-
siderable deficits with regard to social protection in
Southeast Asia, especially in terms of equal access for the
whole population, sustainable financing and the effi-
ciency of existing systems. This situation represents a
major challenge for the state and is becoming increas-
ingly complex due to the dynamics of demographic
transformation and rapid economic change in the
region. In order to improve social protection for large
sections of the population, socio-political measures
must be implemented to provide protection against the
greatest risks such as sickness, old age, accidents and
unemployment as part of the overall protection of the
livelihood of individuals and families. In particular, this
applies to the sections of the population that are dis
advantaged and at risk of poverty, for which the state
must assume special responsibility. In this context, GIZ
encourages young and mid-level professionals to bring
about change in their working sphere to promote the
innovative potential of their institutions. Core of this
process is the implementation of the participants
transfer project.

6. What are the general training objectives?
The ISPS is designed to enable medium-level manage-
ment staff from the diverse actors in the field of social
protection, in partner countries to become familiar
with modern management instruments and to learn
about effective macro policies and strategies in the social
sector. Individual achievements in the training will in-
crease effective, efficient and needs-oriented manage-
ment in governmental policy making and insurance/
health care systems management. The participants are
supposed to take on a multiplier role in implementing
reform in the social protection sector in their home
countries in the Southeast Asian region.
The course will provide an overview on social policy
development and social protection.
On completion of the course, participants will be able to
ʶʶ understand and apply management tools required for
result-oriented work in the social protection sector;
ʶʶ analyse and compare social protection policies
(macro and micro policies) and fully understand their
impacts on society and a country’s development;
ʶʶ identify/ determine and implement social protection
strategies for needs oriented reforms;
ʶʶ communicate and take on a role as multiplier of
lessons learned within the home institution;
ʶʶ make use of an international network of social
protection professionals from Southeast Asia and
Europe for future co-operation.
Where does it take place?
Participants stay in Germany for a period of three to six
months starting in October 2014. During that period,
the International Social Protection Studies programme
provides opportunities to improve managerial skills,
technical expertise, and intercultural competencies.
The training phase in Germany is complemented by a
second one to two month phase of attendance at one of
our Asian partner universities, the National Economics
University in Hanoi, Vietnam, or the University of
Indonesia in Jakarta. An important element of the
ISPS programme is the one to two-month internship
within a private company, government organisation,
training or research institute. It can be completed in a
third country in Asia or Europe or, depending on the
German language skills, in Germany.
This gives participants the opportunity to gain first-
hand experience of economic, social, and organisational
change processes. Examples of elemental changes in
Asia or Europe include ongoing social protection
reforms in the health and pension system, state instru-
ments to mitigate unemployment, and the process of
political unification within the European Union.
What are the key topics for training in
management?
Parallel to the technical training, management skills (be-
fore, during and at the end of the professional training)
will be provided aiming at improving the participants’
international management competence. During these
modules, the participants acquire important key-
competences and a sound understanding of the
principles, methods and functions of management.Top-
ics such as communication, writing skills, presentation
and negotiation, project- and change-management will
be the main areas to be worked on.
The management trainings accompany the learning
process of the participants continuously during the
whole year of the ISPS and are related to the partici-
pants’ current needs in daily life and working situations.
They offer both process- and effect-oriented methods
and concrete support for a successful professional and
personal development.
Objectives, Contents, and Methodology
6
7. What are the key sector-related training modules
in the field of social protection?
The technical part of the ISPS is tailor-made to fit the
needs in the private and public social protection sector
with a particular focus on health insurance, old age pro-
tection and social assistance policies in the Southeast
Asian context. The curriculum is based on a specific
needs assessment but allows the flexibility to adjust to
changing necessities and the particular needs of institu-
tions and participants working in the various fields of
social protection. The curriculum includes the following
main areas:
ʶʶ Introduction, fundamentals, historical and con-
ceptual framework of social protection systems:
The participants obtain an overview of the princi-
ples, objectives, institutions, legal prerequisites, and
political framework conditions of social protection
in the context of Western industrial countries and
in comparison with transforming and developing
countries, especially in the Asian region.
ʶʶ Management Analysis and Evaluation of Social
Policy measures: Participants will be introduced to
the commercial analysis methods of current social
problems, including extraction of the actual issues
at stake, defining clear and measurable problem
statements and offering potential ways to analyse
the problems in simple quantitative analysis of
empirical data.
ʶʶ Reforming Social Protection systems: The partici-
pants understand the fundamental political, insti-
tutional and managerial aspects of social protection
reforms. This includes both the interests of individ-
uals and macroeconomic interrelationships between
social security systems and the national economy.
In addition, the communication challenges incurred
will constitute a key part of this focal area.
ʶʶ Financial Management and design modelling
in Social Security: The participants understand
the special requirements and advantages which a
controlling and financial modelling instrument
entails for an institution. They are able to apply the
results of financial modelling for their respective
institution and to benefit from them by means of
modification processes. This will enable the par-
ticipants to develop informed design choices and
social protection instruments based on a sustainable
financial understanding of revenue and expenditure
implications.
ʶʶ Investments in Social Insurance funds: The parti
cipants learn about and understand the key criteria
and principles for making fiduciary investment
decisions in capital markets. They will analyze
the specific requirements of risk aversion and risk
diversification and dispose of knowledge as regards
the legal framework.
ʶʶ Management Information Systems (MIS) in
Social Protection: The module starts by conveying
basis knowledge information systems as a strategic
instrument for manager to plan, implement and
steer processes in modern organizations. This in-
cludes the necessary intra- and inter-institutional
exchange of data, data security and the ability to
implement these systems in the context of their
own country and organizational context.
ʶʶ Pension systems and Old age Protection: The
module provides a comprehensive introduction to
the problems and solutions of old age protection,
demographic change and projection techniques.
The participants learn to apply actuarial model-
ling of revenue and expenditure in pension systems
taking into account demographic, socio-economic
context, labour market and the general economic
development potential of a given country.
ʶʶ Social health protection and Health Insurance:
The participants understand key design choices
and parameters of a health system with a specific
focus on health insurance. This includes the fixation
of benefit packages, pricing techniques for health-
care services and disease risk management (DRG)
systems. This sub-categories are analyzed from
economic, ethical and cultural perspective and
evaluated in its impact on the respective public
health system.
ʶʶ Social Assistance and Poverty reduction: The
participants will be able to identify the key deter
minants of poverty in a given context and will
analyze how effective impact of national poverty
reduction and basic social protection instruments
are with regard to the improvement of living stand-
ards, employment and income. Basic social protec-
tion can contribute to improved risk protection of
the vulnerable and poor part of a population. It can
7
8. have both a preventive and promotive function.
This module specifically focuses on analyzing the
impact of social cash transfer programmes.
ʶʶ Political economy and governance in Social
Protection: The participants learn about and under
stand the far-reaching implications of national and
international political and economic decisions for
social protection systems and their consequences at
the individual and societal level. They will analyse
the principles of good governance and various
aspects of anti-corruption policies as well as gender-
relevant policy instruments.

What is the transfer project all about?
At the beginning of the programme, participants draw
up a transfer project for their organisation, in coordi-
nation with their superiors and consulted by GIZ. The
transfer project is expected to feed into and improve
the efficiency of the participant’s respective organisa-
tions in the domestic social security sectors. In the
course of the training in Germany and Southeast Asia,
participants will gain theoretical knowledge of man-
agement as well as practical experiences during the
internship. Both will enable them to implement the
transfer project when returning to their countries in
order to bring about necessary institutional change in
the home institution. The implementation of the
transfer project takes place within the six months after
the return of the participants to their home
organisations. It may serve as the Master thesis in case
an academic degree can already be awarded at the end
of the training. It is accompanied by course tutors and
experts on GIZ’s online platform Global Campus 21 –
www.gc21.de and will be presented in a local follow-up
training component closing with a Follow-up work-
shop.
What role do internships in Asian or European
institutions play?
To facilitate and convey linkages between theoretical
knowledge and practical application, GIZ arranges for
an internship in the administration or management
section of an Asian or European institution or organi-
sation involved in social protection and /or health and
pension insurance. Such institutions are for example
ministries, insurance companies with specialisation on
e.g. health care, pensions, accident and compensation
insurance, or public/ private associations in the field of
social protection as well as administrative departments
in hospitals. The objective of this job-related intern-
ship is to familiarise the participants with the work and
progresses of the social protection system of other
Asian or European countries and thus to provide them
with suggestions for useful application pertaining to
work situations in their home countries.
What kind of learning methodology will be
applied?
The different components, learning objectives and sub-
jects of the course imply the use of mixed methods of
learning:
ʶʶ Self-determined and interactive learning: Partici-
pants need to be conscious of their own aims and
learning process. Instead of being “passive students”
they actively support the training activities through
their own contributions, interact with teachers/train-
ers and other participants in lectures, group-work
and all training activities. This comprises lectures,
self-directed learning, small group work, role plays
and didactic games, reflection exercises, case studies
and many more. GIZ’s Internet platform, Global
Campus 21®, is also available for sharing ideas, self-
learning and networking.
ʶʶ Practical project work will be guided by experts,
but requires responsible and self-reliant work and the
ability to integrate into existing project teams, time
schedules and working processes.
ʶʶ International and intercultural character: The
international orientation of the training course
additionally supports inter-cultural learning and
interaction. Working with colleagues from different
countries and cultures on a common subject is a
pre- requisite for the understand-ing of global think-
ing and “North-South and South-South co-opera-
tion”. The one to two month internship also offers
an opportunity to observe, to learn and to share
experiences in a real-life setting, side by side with
your international colleagues from the same sector.
8
9. 1. Pre-selection of candidates
(Starting in June 2014)
Based on the qualifications and criteria stated in the
application forms GIZ will carry out a pre-selection of
candidates. The most qualified applicants will be invited
to an assessment workshop. (For requirements and
qualification please see p. 10). Application Deadline
is the 11th of July 2014!
2. Assessment Workshop
(August 2014)
Pre-selected candidates will attend a two to three day
competitive assessment workshop in Southeast Asia in
order to learn more about each other. The workshop –
which will be held in English language – consists of
interviews, group work and essay writing. The best
candidates will be selected. Once the assessment has
been successfully completed and the health require-
ments are met, candidates will be invited to the follow-
ing activities.
3. Arrival and language training in Germany
(October 2014 to January 2015)
After arriving in Germany participants will first be-
come familiar with the culture and living conditions of
their host country. In order to ease day-to-day
communication and as some internships will be in
German organisations, they will have the opportunity
to gain some basic German language skills by parallel
language courses.
4. International management competence
(parallel to the technical courses)
Participants will attend special training modules
during which they will acquire additional skills for
intercultural communication, writing skills, team-
work, facilitation of group events, tools for efficient
self-management, and techniques for designing and
managing change processes.
5. Technical training in Germany and Southeast Asia
(October 2014 to either April or August 2015, de-
pends on implementation partner and final schedule)
According to the professional specialisation and the
employers’ requirements in the fields of social security,
participants will have an opportunity to enhance their
technical expertise in sector-specific training courses.
The course in Germany will last between 3 – 6 months
depending on the implementation partner chosen. The
training part in cooperation with the National Eco-
nomics University in Hanoi, Vietnam, or the Univer-
sity of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesia will last between
one and two months. The concrete schedule is based
on the final selection of the implementation partner
and will be communicated and uploaded to the GIZ
homepage (see link above) until the first half of July
2014.
6. Internship in German, European or Asian
institutions
(between January 2015 and August 2015, depends on
individual student and final schedule)
GIZ will arrange an internship in German institutions
and organisations in the field of social security and/or
public/private health or pension insurance. This will
allow participants to gain a first-hand understanding of
daily operations, management and strategic leadership
in a national, European and global context. The intern-
ship will be as closely as possible related to the transfer
project proposal and personal interest.
7. Transfer phase in your home country
(Starting between April and September 2015, depends
on final schedule)
After returning to the home country, participants will
have a chance, with the support of the superiors, to
implement a concrete transfer project inside their
organisation. GIZ will accompany this transfer phase
by offering technical backstopping via GIZ’s online
platform Global Campus 21 – www.gc21.de – and
GIZ bilateral programmes.

current stage of the programme. Participants of the
training will receive an official certificate issued by the
German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation
and Development (BMZ), confirming your successful
participation and a detailed description of your per-
sonal training structure. Yet some of the technical
modules receive credit points (ECTS) which are recog-
nised as partial fulfilment of the International Health
Master Programme within the European TropED
training network.
Requirements, Qualifications and Application
10
11. GIZ will grant the selected and invited participants a
scholarship (full or partial) for the entire duration of
their Training in Germany and if applicable for the
internship period and their training at one of our
partner universities which provides adequate means to
cover their costs of living. Scholarship arrangements
will take effect as soon as applicants have accepted the
admission and signed the Conditions for Participation.
The programme is funded by the German Ministry of
Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and
directed at participants coming from Cambodia, Laos,
Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam as partner
countries of the German Development Cooperation in
the field of economic development.
The following organisational and financial arrange-
ments apply for the different steps in the ISPS:
ʶʶ Assessment Workshop:
GIZ will cover full boarding, accommodation,
transport of participants and overall organization of
the assessment workshop. Employers are requested
to possibly cover international flight costs, visa fees
if necessary and other costs related to travelling to
the assessment workshop.
ʶʶ Training Courses in Germany and Asia:
GIZ will cover full programme costs including the
trainers and the management training, boarding
& lodging of participants, their health insurance,
full or partly scholarship arrangements including
daily allowances depending on the ability of the
employer to co-finance ISPS programme costs. For
instance, with some delegating institutions GIZ
has signed MoUs that establish co-financing of the
course fees and international travel costs for partici-
pants. This enhances ownership and commitment
of the institutions for the whole programme. In ad-
dition, employers are required to guarantee ongoing
support to their employee’s family during the appli-
cants’ stay in Germany as well as their reintegration
after their return.

14. Broad-based expertise for sustainable development
The services delivered by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH draw
on a wealth of regional and technical expertise and
tried and tested management know-how. As a federal
enterprise, we support the German Government in
achieving its objectives in the field of international
cooperation for sustainable development. We are also
engaged in international education work around the
globe.
Tailored services
We offer demand-driven, tailor-made and effective
services for sustainable development. To ensure the
participation of all stakeholders, we apply a holistic
approach based on the values and principles upheld in
German society. This is how we facilitate change and
empower people to take ownership of their own sus-
tainable development processes. In doing this, we are
always guided by the concept of sustainable develop-
ment, and take account of political, economic, social
and ecological factors. We support our partners at local,
regional, national and international level in designing
strategies and meeting their policy goals.
Developing solutions
GIZ operates in many fields: economic development
and employment promotion; governance and demo
cracy; security, reconstruction, peacebuilding and civil
conflict transformation; food security, health and basic
education; and environmental protection, resource
conservation and climate change mitigation. We also
support our partners with management and logistical
services, and act as an intermediary, balancing diverse
interests in sensitive contexts. In crises, we carry out
refugee and emergency aid programmes. As part of our
services, we also second development workers to partner
countries.
Through programmes for integrated and returning
experts, we place managers and specialist personnel in
key positions in partner countries. We also promote
networking and dialogue among actors in international
cooperation. Capacity development for partner-coun-
try experts is a major component of our services, and
we offer our programme participants diverse oppor
tunities to benefit from the contacts they have made.
We also give young people a chance to gain profes-
sional experience around the world – exchange pro-
grammes for young professionals lay the foundations
for successful careers in national and international
markets.
Who we work for
Most of our work is commissioned by the German
Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development. GIZ also operates on behalf of other
German ministries – including the Federal Foreign
Office, the Federal Ministry for the Environment,
Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, the Federal
Ministry of Defence, the Federal Ministry of Eco
nomics and Technology and the Federal Ministry of
Education and Research – as well as German federal
states and municipalities, and public and private sector
clients in Germany and abroad. These include the
governments of other countries, the European
Commission, the United Nations and the World Bank.
We work closely with the private sector and promote
synergies between the development and foreign trade
sectors. Our considerable experience with net-works in
partner countries and in Germany is a key factor for
successful international cooperation, not only in the
business, research and cultural spheres, but also in civil
society. Global reach – the company at a glance.
GIZ operates in more than 130 countries worldwide.
In Germany, we maintain a presence in nearly all the
federal states. Our registered offices are in Bonn and
Eschborn. GIZ has more than 17,000 staff members
across the globe – some 70 % of whom are employed
locally as national personnel. In addition, GIZ places
or finances around 1,110 development workers, 700
integrated experts, 455 returning experts and 820 welt-
wärts volunteers. With a business volume of around
EUR 1.85 billion, GIZ is well placed to meet the
challenges of tomorrow.
