Message: [QUOTE="Queen, post: 87456, member: 27"] A green-energy skills program just scaled from 500 to 1,600 women and youth, and it is targeting clean-tech jobs across Tanzania. BES-TVET project basics [LIST] [*]REDESO and the government are jointly rolling out green-energy training nationwide. [*]IDRC is footing the bill, with implementation spanning Tanzania and Uganda. [*]CEO Abeid Kasaizi laid out the plan at an inception workshop in Dar es Salaam. [*]A pilot batch of 500 participants already went through the program. [/LIST] What trainees actually learn [LIST] [*]Smart stoves, solar systems, and electric transportation tech are all on the curriculum. [*]Entrepreneurship training ensures graduates can launch their own ventures. [*]Six TVET centers will get upgraded to teach these clean-energy modules. [*]VETA is wired in to keep the whole thing self-sustaining long term. [/LIST] Where it is happening [LIST] [*]Dodoma, Mwanza, Singida, Dar es Salaam, and Pwani are the target regions. [*]Rural areas get stove-focused training since charcoal use is still heavy there. [*]Urban zones lean toward electric-mobility solutions instead. [*]Kasaizi deliberately spread things beyond the capital to match local energy needs. [/LIST] Why this exists [LIST] [*]Women and youth are massively underrepresented in the clean-energy sector. [*]Kasaizi pointed to a glaring skills gap as the root cause. [*]East Africa's demand for green tech keeps climbing, but technical capacity lags behind. [*]VETA's director general flagged inadequate training as the biggest barrier to scaling up. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
