Taiwan boosts TVET skills development in Eswatini

Mbabane – The Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) in Eswatini reports ongoing support to strengthen the country’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system over the past four years. Working closely with Eswatini’s key ministries and education partners, the Taiwan Technical Mission has helped develop 11 official trade qualifications, including auto-electrics, welding, and solar energy.

Ten of these qualifications are already registered and in use, with the Solar PV qualification expected to be finalised this year. These standards aim to streamline training and assessment, aligning Eswatini’s TVET with regional benchmarks to improve employability for young skilled workers across Southern Africa.

By mid-2025, the first phase of this initiative will conclude, with plans underway for a second phase to expand training at centres such as MITC, Mpaka, and SITC.
