Humber College Leads Project to Enhance Bhutanese Youths’ Access to Technical and Vocational Education

Thousands of Bhutanese youth will have increased access to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) through a Humber College-led project funded by the Government of Canada through Global Affairs Canada.

Bhutan Education and Skills Training (BEST) is a five-year, $4.95 million project that will enhance equitable access to TVET education, provide learners with industry-relevant skills and support them to enter the labour market, which reduces poverty through economic empowerment.

Humber staff, including our very own Associate Dean & Principal of the Centre for Skilled Trades & Technology, Michael Auchincloss, travelled to Bhutan to co-develop curriculum, using their expertise and resources to support Bhutanese youth who have encountered education and employment obstacles.
