Agricultural Technical Baccalaureate and support for the training of trainers
1. Mission :
The Jóvenes y Desarrollo Foundation, in collaboration with the Rinaldi Foundation, the Ministry of National Education of Haiti and funded by the European Union, is conducting a project, Ref. NDICI LA 2023/446-340, whose main objective is: “To promote equitable and inclusive access for young Haitians, in particular young women and young people in vulnerable situations, to employability and/or permanence in the education system”, aiming to improve the quality of vocational training in Haiti.
Within the framework of this project, a curriculum diagnostic, reference frameworks, and teaching and assessment guides have already been developed for the Renewable Energy (RE) and New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) sectors, using the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) methodology. This work required a dual review, conducted both with the internal technical team and with the National Institute for Vocational Training (INFP), which caused some delays in the final validation of the reference frameworks. The first phase of work related to the new Agricultural Technical Baccalaureate (BT) specialization has also begun, with the production of the educational framework and teaching materials; the training program, teaching guide, assessment guide, and Pedagogical and Material Organization Guide (PMO) remain to be developed.
This second phase aims to complete all deliverables related to the BT Agricole specialty, as well as to support and supervise the training process of Trainers of Trainers (TOTs), including the management of a specific technical module.
