Independent proposal for public review. Evidence date: 4 November 2026. Pilot sizes, targets and institutional roles are proposed. Baselines, institutional acceptance, quotations, specialist review and funding require confirmation before implementation.
Workers gain valued skills, safer employment and higher sustainable earnings.
Proposed pilot: One hundred paid apprentices across up to 20 willing employers; select occupations from documented vacancies and trainable skills gaps.
Current education research supports work-based learning and employer/graduate tracking [S4]. The proposal adds employer commitments, productivity measurement and retention follow-up.

Current education research supports work-based learning and employer/graduate tracking [S4]. The proposal adds employer commitments, productivity measurement and retention follow-up.
Days 1–30: demand survey and employer selection. Days 31–60: confirm providers, contracts, supervisors and support needs. Days 61–90: commence first placements after readiness checks.
Assess competencies, record wages and trace employment at three and six months after completion. Publish cohort attrition and employer feedback.
Proposed lead: ministry responsible for labour with education/TVET authorities. Partners: employers, recognised providers and worker representatives. Skills: occupational training, assessment, employment administration and productivity coaching.
Quote paid placement months, trainer and assessor hours, protective equipment, transport/childcare support and follow-up. Agree the employer and programme wage contribution explicitly.
Confirm lawful employment terms, safety, learner protection and recognised assessment. Recruitment begins after real paid roles and supervisor capacity are documented.
Baseline status: pending local verification for every measure. Confirm definitions, sample, reporting owner and realistic thresholds before implementation. All percentage-point changes use the same defined cohort; relative reductions are calculated against the verified baseline.
| Type / measure | Definition | Proposed target | Data owner / cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Result · Sustained employment | Graduates in paid work six months later ÷ all completers ×100; report untraceable participants. | Proposed: 70%. | Cohort tracer; six-month follow-up |
| Result · Quality-adjusted output per paid hour | Accepted units or standardised service output ÷ paid hours, by comparable role. | Proposed: 10% gain in participating operations. | Employer operations lead; quarterly |
| Activity · Paid placements started | Verified paid placements commenced ÷ agreed places ×100. | Proposed: 90%. | Programme coordinator; monthly |
| Activity · Competency assessments completed | Due assessments completed by approved assessor ÷ assessments due ×100. | Proposed: 95%. | Training provider; monthly |
Skills Recognition and Return-to-Work: recognise existing competencies and support women, experienced workers and eligible returning diaspora workers into verified roles, with skills gaps, care and transport barriers addressed.
By 2030, training expansion is linked to vacancy evidence, assessed capability, sustained employment and real earnings.
Medium; employer demand, wage contributions and retention baselines pending.
