What is Smart Step?
Smart Step is an Erasmus+ Capacity Building project in the field of Vocational education and training (VET) that aims to improve the training programs offered in vocational education and training (VET) schools in Ghana and Cameroon. The project seeks to prepare students for entrepreneurship and bridge the gap between the education system and the labor market.
This is achieved through a strategic partnership between African and European organizations, which provides technical support and relevant knowledge to both the private sector and civil society in the field of entrepreneurship.
Objectives of the project
To establish a comprehensive and collaborative exchange system of good practices, learning processes, and activities to facilitate mutual knowledge.
To introduce specific training on entrepreneurship to VET teachers, tutors, and learners, encouraging them to think about sustainable innovation production and inclusiveness, adapted to their environment.
