Pilot overview

Building practical skills for changing mineral value chains.

The pilot works with university and TVET partners to identify emerging skills requirements across circular-economy and energy transition mineral value chains. It connects technical curriculum development with trainer support and pathways for regional transfer.

The approach is designed to be practical, partner-led and attentive to gender inclusion and different institutional contexts across the region.

What this pilot is designed to support
Relevant curricula, confident trainers, more inclusive learning pathways and reusable approaches that can strengthen energy transition mineral skills across participating institutions.
Areas of focus

From skills needs to regional learning pathways.

Focus 01

Skills and curriculum scoping

Mapping priority capabilities and translating them into relevant curriculum areas and learning outcomes.

Focus 02

Training-of-trainers

Supporting educators with technical content, delivery methods and reusable teaching materials.

Focus 03

Gender-sensitive learning

Designing participation and learning approaches that address barriers and widen access to energy transition mineral skills.

Focus 04

Regional skills transfer

Testing how curricula, trainer learning and materials can be adapted and shared across partner institutions.

Delivery approach

A partner-led cycle for applied learning.

Phase 01

Scope

Identify skills priorities, audiences and institutional needs.

Phase 02

Co-design

Develop curriculum components and trainer materials with partners.

Phase 03

Train and test

Run training-of-trainers and pilot selected learning activities.

Phase 04

Refine and transfer

Capture feedback, strengthen materials and support regional uptake.
