sequa g Gmb H is a globally operating non-profit development organisation. Since 1991 sequa has carried out programmes and projects of international cooperation in close collaboration with the German private sector. sequa offers know-how and long-term experience in capacity development for chambers and associations (BMOs), vocational education and training, private sector development and trade promotion. The organisation is based in Bonn, Germany. sequa employs more than 100 persons (2023) and reported a turnover of EUR 60 m in 2023.

The Project

Skills Development for Youth Employment (SKYE) is a development cooperation programme in Nigeria implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) Gmb H. The programme aims at promoting needs-based Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and youth employment in Nigeria to enhance economic development in Nigeria.

From 2019 until 2023 sequa cooperated with GIZ in SKYE l in order to strengthen selected sectors of the Nigerian economy by establishing cooperative vocational training as part of the Nigerian vocational training system. In cooperation with Nigerian chambers and associations sequa developed and piloted curricula for six trades based on the Competency Based Training (CBT) approach in line with the requirements of the Nigerian Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF). Since the format of workplace learning (50 percent of the training time takes place in companies) was well received by the industry the Organized Private Sector of Nigeria (OPSN), i.e. the association of all leading associations in Nigeria, took over a key role in standard development, but also to initiate a new Sector Skills Council (SSC) as a model for new SSCs to follow.

In order to anchor workplace learning as a model more sustainably and spread it further, sequa continues its work with the organised private sector in SKYE II with the following outcomes: (1) Strengthening the role of the private sector in vocational training (exchange with German and/or anglophone African Business Membership Organisations (BMOs) engaged in TVET; further development of SSCs. (2) Qualification of vocational training personnel (develop a standard for in-company trainers in workplace learning; practical training of vocational school teachers). (3) Promote cooperation between private sector and vocational schools/polytechnic colleges (joint implementation of workplace learning; collaboration in career orientation measures). (4) Support setting up a sustainable range of CBT short-term training courses.
