Although half of the jobs in Tunisia require an adequate digital literacy level, it is observed that the workforce in Tunisia is lacking digital skills that would enable them to respond to the labour market’s needs. In addition to that, it is also observed that VET trainers do not exploit ICT and innovative methods for teaching and cultivating learners’ potential.

The DISCOVER project is a Capacity Building in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET) that aims to build the capacity of Tunisian VET centres to develop and implement a strategy for digital learning through a multistakeholder approach and to support the digital learning transformation of VET institutions in Tunisia, in order to increase their responsiveness to labour market needs and skills development. To reach its goals, the project will work with VET providers and VET trainers and it will develop a Toolkit with ecosystem mapping for digital learning strategies in VET, based on Tunisian needs and national priorities, and training curricula for VET providers and VET trainers, and it will also implement study visits and mobilities, in order to increase the capacity of the participating VET providers and trainers to achieve effective transition to digital learning, to develop the skills of Tunisian VET providers and trainers, and to increase the cooperation among the target groups.
