The primary objective of the EVENT Project is to increase the supply of skilled and employable human resources by enhancing access to quality training programs and strengthening the overall Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system in Nepal. The Project is particularly focused on improving access to TVET programs for disadvantaged and marginalized youth, including those from economically underprivileged backgrounds, remote regions, women, Dalits, disadvantaged Janajatis, persons with disabilities, and other socially excluded groups. Special emphasis is placed on equity and inclusion, ensuring that vulnerable populations are not left behind in the national skills development agenda. The EVENT Project is structured around four key components: Strengthening TVET Regulatory Activities and Capacity Building Enhancing Technical Education Support for Short-term Training and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Project Management, Monitoring, and Evaluation
