Vocational Training

This programme intends to finance Ministerial Lines (LMs) to prepare and strengthen Timorese competences or abilities, particularly those of young women and men, in accordance with labour market requirements. This programme includes the majority of the SEPFOPE program’s money. This programme benefits the entire Timorese public, not just civil servants.

Its purpose is to support all training activities relating to skill development in Timor-Leste that with the help of the government may contribute to the economic development of the country and address market needs. The programme also supports the training of youth as skilled labour to work overseas, especially in construction, hospitality/hotel services, horticulture, fisheries, agriculture, etc., and training of trainers’ activities and basic level training in languages and mathematics.
