INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS
Examples and case studies where E2 Consulting has been engaged in supporting employment and skilling opportunities internationally.
PEOPLE 1ST INTERNATIONAL
E2 Consulting appointed as Subject Matter Expert to assist the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development funded project in Kazakhstan.
E2 Consulting were engaged to lead on a piece of research to identify the challenges in Kazakhstan both in terms of attracting young people into mining but also in aligning TVET provision and TVET policy to the needs of the employers.
Having outlined the technological, demographic and socio-economic drivers for mining, we then developed a Youth Inclusion Action Plan to identify a comprehensive set of solutions.
The proposed solutions included establishing a skills academy model with multiple entry and exit points recognised and a set of accredited programmes that recognise an individual’s achievements at key points along their chosen career path. We followed a systematic approach to implementing training in the workplace and in formal education, building up the programme content from National Occupational Standards (NOS), then developing the delivery, assessment and quality assurance requirements in partnership with the employer.
A programme of continual professional development (CPD) was created and implemented which included:
​
• A train the trainer/assessor programme • A mentoring programme
• Assessment and quality assurance processes
• Portfolio of units offering alignment with NOSSS and National Qualifications Framework
• Materials for strategic human resource management
