Vocational Skills Development

​​​​​​Vocational Skills Development

​​​​​Despite the progress achieved in girls and women’s education, occupational segregation remains a predominant feature of training and labour markets, limiting women’s choices and confining them to lower-paid and lower-status jobs than men. Vocational skills interventions provide an opportunity to reflect on existing roles, and to explore opportunities to question gender divisions in the labour market.

The SDC ensures that its vocational skills development (VSD) projects take into account the specific needs of women and promote gender equality.​​
