WorldSkills Africa Livingstone 2025

Capacity Building Programme

As part of the preparation for countries to participate in WorldSkills Africa Livingstone 2025 (WSAL2025), a capacity building programme consisting of a series of online workshops led by a Skill Advisor and Chief Experts will be designed to upskill the trainers, who are registered by their countries to join the programme and participate in WSAL2025 as Experts of their chosen skills.

The workshops will take place online, except for a face-to-face session in Livingstone before the start of the Competition. The Skill Advisor appointed by WSI will lead the plenary sessions, covering the fundamental elements of WorldSkills Occupational Standards, key components in the official documents of WorldSkills Africa Competition, and Assessment.

The skill-specific sessions will be led by each Chief Expert responsible for their skill approximately every two weeks to cover the detailed elements of their skill. This includes an explanation of their specific WSOS, conducting a mapping exercise with the Experts to identify the common gaps/challenges, and providing practical training in preparation of WSAL2025.

Members can register one Expert per skill to join the programme by completing the registration form (select Capacity Building Programme for WSAL2025) by 30 June 2024. Once the registration form is submitted, an invoice will be sent to the main contact of the Member for making the registration fee. The registration fee is USD 200 per Expert per skill. This registration fee will offset the total cost of the accreditation packages booked for the Experts to participate in WSAL2025. The payment deadline for the registration fee is 15 July 2024.

For a non-Member of WorldSkills Africa, the ministry in charge of TVET or the organization endorsed by the ministry in charge of TVET to represent their country can register a maximum of three Experts in three skills (one Expert per skill) to join the programme by completing the registration form (select Capacity Building Programme for WSAL2025) by 30 June 2024.
