Capacity 2000 Plus
Competency-based Community Skills Development
ADEA Working Group on Nonformal Education, Commonwealth Secretariat,
1999
The notion of workforce education holds much promise
for dealing with the lack of skilled human resources on the one hand,
and shortage of employment opportunities on the other. The Capacity
2000 workshop, held in Namibia in 1997, was successful in accomplishing
the formation of an advisory council to guide and develop the improvement
of competency-based skills training. This workshop report has been reproduced
in order to make the concept and potential impact of workforce training
more widely available.
