The Ghana TVET Service has partnered with UNESCO, KPMG and Microsoft to train 100,000 Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) facilitators in artificial intelligence (AI) and digital competencies.
The partnership is aimed at equipping TVET facilitators with the skills needed to keep pace with rapid technological developments and prepare learners for increasingly technology-driven classrooms and workplaces.
The initiative comes amid growing adoption of AI across education and industry, with the partners emphasising the need for facilitators to be confident and competent in using digital technologies.
Beyond technical skills, the training will also focus on the responsible use of AI and digital tools.
Facilitators will be equipped to navigate issues including learner data management, misinformation and bias, ensuring that the use of technology in teaching and learning is accompanied by appropriate judgement and responsibility.
The Ghana TVET Service will lead the implementation of the initiative, while UNESCO will provide guidance on policy standards.
KPMG will support the strengthening of systems, with Microsoft providing digital tools for the programme.
The partnership is expected to support the development of a more future-ready TVET system by strengthening the capacity of facilitators at national scale.
The initiative reflects the importance of ensuring that skills development systems evolve alongside technological innovation and that TVET facilitators are adequately equipped to prepare learners for the changing demands of the workplace.
