Equip Consulting Group and Gift Women Link Foundation, partners of the Project, organised information sessions on 2nd and 17th May in Malawi and Uganda, respectively. The events aimed to raise awareness of the WITH Project and foster meaningful networking opportunities. Attended by more than 40 people each including stakeholders from the VET institutions, tourism, and hospitality sectors (hotels, bars, lodges) and representatives of national and local governments.

The WITH project has reached an important milestone with the implementation of the Capacity-Building Programme for VET trainers in May 2024. The Capacity-Building aimed to equip trainers with new pedagogical methods to deliver high-quality vocational education that meets the evolving needs of the tourism and hospitality sector. It has been implemented via digital platforms and the WITH Knowledge Virtual Centre, a section hosted inside the WITH website where participants can freely access the training content at any time.
