The country office in Lesotho piloted the first Skillshare project which aimed to bring 11 development workers under the auspices of the Technical and Vocational Training. The aim of the project was to alleviate poverty in Lesotho through the development of improved skills training programmes and to provide new opportunities for income generation activities. A development worker has been recruited to assist the Ministry of Education Technical and Vocational Department with the completion of the policy and law which will pave the way for transformation of TVED. Skillshare is currently exploring an option to continue to provide support in business training and leadership development within the TVET system.
